Message from the Honourable Dave Hancock Minister of Education On behalf of the Government of Alberta, I am pleased to share with you this valuable resource, the Handbook for International Education Administrators. This handbook is being offered to all school authorities as a reference guide for developing and implementing international education strategies, programs and activities. Our province promotes international cooperation in education through agreements with foreign governments that build and enable programs of benefit to Alberta’s students. These include student and teacher exchanges, school partnerships, visiting teacher programs, foreign language advisors and international student programs. Leadership is essential to the successful development and implementation of international programs and initiatives within our education system. High-quality learning means ensuring all students can reach their potential and fulfillment as citizens in a rapidly, changing world. School-based international education initiatives expose students to social and cultural differences, new educational methods and systems and unique global perspectives. By adding an international element to education, we better prepare our students for future success in our global community and for the future prosperity of our province.

It is becoming ubiquitous in today’s curriculum and assessment. Hence, there is an ever-increasing need for schools to become involved in international education. Many school authorities are actively involved; some are new to the scene, some have been involved in international education for many years in one form or another. The handbook was developed to provide the necessary information and tools to assist school administrators in the development and implementation of successful international education programs. This useful resource will serve as a guide to answer questions, such as: • What is international education? • Why should I get involved? • Who is involved and what is their role? • How do I get involved? • How do I implement a successful international education program? • Where do I find available resources? Our interconnectedness with other parts of the globe means that we are always— consciously or unconsciously—negotiating within a global context and so are our students. International education enables students to recognize their place in the international community and to reflect upon their role as global citizens.

  • Media Release for Immediate Release
    Media Release For Immediate Release Enrolment positive at Alberta’s 11 Colleges Slave Lake, AB - September 22, 2016 – With the 2016-17 academic year now underway, the 11 Colleges across the province are reporting increased enrolments in academic programming. “The enrolment numbers are looking bright for Colleges in our province,” says Joel Ward, Red Deer College President & CEO. “When we look at the numbers collectively, comparing this year’s enrolment numbers with those from the 2015-16 year, the 11 institutions are showing exceptional enrolment growth in academic programming, with an increase of over 9%.” Ward attributes the strong growth in part to the number of Albertans who lost their jobs and are reentering post-secondary to reskill and retrain in preparation for when the economy rebounds. “Government funding has increased over the past two years and this has also enabled Colleges to offer new programs, which contributes to the strong growth in enrolment,” he says. Some general trends can be found when comparing enrolment numbers, as six institutions reported increases in business and business administration programs. Other areas of growth included health and human service programs, university transfer programs and upgrading. “Northern Lakes College continues to experience enrollment growth. Our health programs - the EMT-Paramedic and Practical Nurse program are oversubscribed – all seats are full and we have a waitlist” says Ann Everatt, President & CEO. “Academic Upgrading and University Studies enrollment continue to climb over last year. Our distance delivery model works well and allows students to attend post-secondary without leaving their home community.” - 30 – About Alberta’s Colleges: For local perspectives, please contact any of Alberta’s Colleges, which include: Bow Valley College, Grand Prairie Regional College, Keyano College, Lakeland College, Lethbridge College, Medicine Hat College, NorQuest College, Northern Lakes College, Olds College, Portage College and Red Deer College.

By collaborating and unifying with our communities and partners, we empower them to succeed. In 1968, Alberta NewStart was established in Lac La Biche as part of the federal government’s initiative to research basic adult education. NewStart offered instruction in areas as diverse as academic upgrading, trapping, wild fur management and oilfield management. However, in the winter of 1970, the government decided to close the facility and cease the research. Faced with the pending closure of the school, a group of Indigenous students decided to challenge the government by staging a 26-day sit-in. The group was successful, and the government awarded a grant to continue the NewStart program. The school took on a new name “Pe-Ta-Pun” meaning “New Dawn.” From then until now, thanks to those individuals, the doors of Portage College have been open for adult education, serving the communities of the Northeast region. This publication highlights efforts made by individuals, communities, industry, governments and Portage College to empower our students and communities to succeed. We acknowledge that we gather on the traditional lands of the First Nations, the owners of Treaties Six and Eight, which are also homelands to the Métis people. We are grateful to them for sharing the land with us. – COLLABORATION WITH – EDUCATION, GOVERNMENT AND INDUSTRY 1 VOYAGE – PORTAGING TOGETHER – PROGRAM PARTNERS – Our program areas strive to create experiential learning for in the workplace, the College is focused on preparing students by partnering with diverse businesses and groups.
