The purpose of this process was to gather data, input and suggestions to guide curriculum developers in the development of the new social studies program for grades 10-12. A needs assessment questionnaire was the primary tool for gathering qualitative and quantitative data from educational partners and stakeholders. During the needs assessment process, respondents submitted 1526 questionnaires via consultation sessions, mail, fax and the Internet. Recommendations from teachers, students and other respondents are analyzed separately in this report. Feedback from Aboriginal and Francophone respondents is included in the overall results. Differences between the Aboriginal responses and the overall responses are highlighted. Differing Francophone responses are analyzed in the same way as the Aboriginal responses. Areas of Concern about the Existing High School Social Studies Program The following summarizes areas of concern surrounding the existing high school social studies program, as identified by questionnaire respondents and consultation participants. A. Program Content Curricular content needs to be updated after more than 20 years without a major overhaul to Alberta's social studies program. European and North American examples/case studies are overemphasized in the existing curriculum; too few examples are drawn from other parts of the world. Issues and perspectives of Aboriginal peoples are not adequately represented in the existing curriculum. The current program does not allow for the development of a genuine understanding of Canada's Francophone realities. B. Program Rationale The rationale for what is being studied is not always adequately explained in the existing high school program. C. Curriculum Overlap There is too much unnecessary repetition of subject matter from grade to grade within the high school social studies program. Content already covered in social studies in junior high school is unnecessarily repeated at the high school level. There is unjustified overlap between the high school social studies program and other high school programs; in particular, the social studies program needlessly repeats material covered in Science, Technology and Society (STS) components of the science programs. D. Quantity of Curricular Content There is too much content for teachers and students to cover in the grades 10-12 social studies curriculum. Section One High School Social Studies Needs Assessment Report /1 ©Alberta Learning, Alberta, Canada (September 2002) 6 BEST COPY MAILABLE The breadth of content results in superficial understanding of social studies topics and issues. The curriculum does not allow enough time for engaging activities and active learning. The curriculum does not allow enough time for the study of current events; in practice, teachers and students get bogged down in

    April 10, 2003 Excellence in Teaching Awards finalists selected Edmonton ... In tribute to their outstanding contributions to education in Alberta, 128 teachers from across the province have been chosen as finalists for the 15th annual Excellence in Teaching Awards. Three of these finalists are in the running for the SMARTer Kids Foundation Innovative Use of Technology Award. "Great teachers do more than teach. They ignite a desire for learning and knowledge that will equip our young people for lifelong success," said Dr. Lyle Oberg, Minister of Learning. "These finalists are representative of the many teachers across Alberta whose commitment and innovative approaches to learning inspire students and colleagues." The 128 finalists will receive finalist award certificates, which will be presented to them at local ceremonies in their schools or communities. The finalists were chosen from 418 nominees by a selection committee of representatives of stakeholder groups and education partners in the Early Childhood Services (ECS) to Grade 12 learning community. Finalists for the Excellence in Teaching Awards demonstrated creativity, innovation and effectiveness in teaching. On May 10, 2003, a dinner and awards ceremony will be held in Edmonton to present Excellence in Teaching Awards to 21 of Alberta's most outstanding teachers, one of whom will be awarded the SMARTer Kids Foundation Innovative Use of Technology Award. Recipients will be selected from the 128 finalists. "The Excellence in Teaching Awards are an important way to publicly recognize teachers who have demonstrated their dedication to education in this province," added Dr. Oberg. "Congratulations to all teachers for their hard work in the lives of students and I thank all Albertans for showing their appreciation by nominating these special teachers." The 15th annual Excellence in Teaching Awards are presented by Alberta Learning with the support of The Document Company, XEROX, the Alberta School Boards Association, The Edmonton Journal, SMARTer Kids Foundation, and the Alberta Chambers of Commerce.
