April 10, 2003 Excellence in Teaching Awards Finalists Selected Edmonton
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. -

DESCRIPTORS Educational Assessment; Foreign Countries; High Schools; *Needs Assessment; *Program Development; Questionnaires; Secondary Education; *Social Studies; Surveys IDENTIFIERS *Alberta ABSTRACT In 2001, Canada's Alberta Learning embarked on development of a new provincial high school social studies program by conducting a province- wide needs assessment survey. Its purpose was to gather data, input, and suggestions to guide curriculum developers in the development of the new program. 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, including feedback from Aboriginal and Francophone respondents. This report enumerates the results, summarizing the areas of concern surrounding the existing high school social studies program, as identified by questionnaire respondents and consultation participants. The report cites as areas of concern: program content; program rationale; curriculum overlap; quantity of curricular content; and skills and processes. It also provides general advice and input provided by questionnaire respondents, and consultation participants, regarding breadth of coverage, depth of coverage, program focus, program content, skill development, two course sequences, learning and teaching resources, and stakeholder participation. -
