Available on the internet: http://education.alberta.ca/admin/aisi/colloquium.aspx The AISI Colloquium The Alberta Initiative for School Improvement (AISI) is a province-wide partnership program whose goal is to improve student learning and performance by fostering initiatives that reflect the unique needs and circumstances of each school authority. It is currently ending its third cycle and ninth year of implementation. The Colloquium on Large Scale Improvement: Implications for AISI took place in Edmonton, October 20-22, 2008. The purposes of the colloquium were to share information about AISI from multiple perspectives and to set a strategic direction for the future of the program. The Honourable Dave Hancock, Minister of Education, announced Cycle 4 of AISI when he opened the colloquium. The colloquium brought together three perspectives on the program – that of AISI partners, school authorities, and experts in areas of strategic importance to AISI. Representatives from these groups made presentations, participated in the deliberations, and wrote chapters for this report. The AISI partners consist of representatives from the following organizations: • Alberta Education • Alberta School Boards Association (ASBA) • Alberta School Councils’ Association (ASCA) • Alberta Teachers’ Association (ATA) • Association of School Business Officials of Alberta (ASBOA) • College of Alberta School Superintendents (CASS) • University Faculties of Education (Alberta, Calgary, Lethbridge) Six school authorities were invited to present a field perspective on AISI. They represent different types of school authority and all regions of the province. • Peace Wapiti School Division • Edmonton Public Schools • Pembina Hills Regional Division • Wolf Creek School Division • Calgary Catholic School District • Prairie Rose School division Five experts were invited to share their expertise and experience with the group. Areas of particular interest to AISI as it begins its second decade are evidence, change, policy, and complexity thinking. • Evidence – Robert Crocker, Atlantic Evaluation and Research Consultants • Change – Andy Hargreaves, Boston College • Policy – Pasi Sahlberg, European Training Foundation • Complexity Thinking – Brent Davis and Dennis Sumara, University of British Columbia AISI Colloquium iii Large Scale Improvement AISI was developed in 1999 when the partners developed its framework and administrative requirements1. The AISI Colloquium is the latest in a series of strategic events in which partners have identified opportunities, challenges, and implications. • In 2000, AISI partners participated in a symposium2 in which they identified the opportunities and challenges they foresaw in this new initiative. • In 2005, AISI partners spent a strategic planning day3 to develop a shared understanding of the key components of the AISI framework and issues related to the implementation of AISI Cycle 3. The summary of the deliberations was used to inform Cycle 3. • In 2007, another symposium4 brought together four partner organizations to identify implications of AISI for professional practice. This 2008 AISI Colloquium differed from previous symposia in that it extended both the time (three days) and scope (more and varied participants) to reflect on AISI successes and propose enhancements for its next cycle. AISI coordinators and superintendents from representative school authorities joined the partners and external experts in sharing perspectives and recommending suggestions for the enhancement of AISI. Following our normal practice, the products from the colloquium have been posted on the AISI website. They follow a multimedia approach. In addition to this report, the Power Points and videotaped presentations can be found at http://education.alberta.ca/admin/aisi/colloquium.aspx 1 This resulted in the Framework for the Alberta Initiative for School Improvement (AISI Education Partners Steering Committee, 1999) and AISI administrative handbook (AISI Education Partners Working, 1999). 2 Alberta Initiative for School Improvement: Opportunities and challenges.

It is the third in a series of annotated guides developed to assist researchers in their work.

The Provincial Archives of Alberta preserves the collective memory of Alberta, and contributes to the protection of Albertans' rights and the sense of the Alberta identity. In carrying out its mandate, of the Provincial Archives acquires, preserves and makes available for research both private and government records of all media related to the history and culture of Alberta, and serves as the permanent archival repository of the Government of Alberta. The Archives ensures a continuity of historical records of Alberta for today and tomorrow, so that the citizens of the Province of Alberta can use these records to better understand themselves. This mandate is hopefully reflected in this project and will provide researchers a good starting point for their research into the Ukrainian experience in Alberta.

Several hundred students entered normal schools in Calgary, Camrose, and Edmonton every year to complete the one-year teacher preparation course. Student life in normal schools revolved around relationships between faculty and students. Normal school faculty regulated behaviour in and out of the classroom, supervised extracurricular activities, and oversaw off-campus accommodations in fulfilment of academic and social responsibilities to care for students. They aimed to prepare Normalites (as students called themselves) for the teaching profession and so reinforced existing gender and social mores—expectations to which students were largely content to conform.
