Secondary Arts Education Implementaton Working Team

Permission must be obtained from the school division or First Nation education authority before applying.

The Ministry of Education is inviting teachers from school divisions and First Nations education authorities to participate in implementation working teams for new and renewed secondary Arts Education curricula.

Each working team will meet for an equivalent of two days during 2021-22 to develop implementation supports (e.g., lesson plans, course outlines, materials lists and suggested activities) for the following:

• Arts Education 10, 20, 30;
• Band 10, 20, 30;
• Choral 10, 20, 30;
• Dance 10, 20, 30;
• Drama 10, 20, 30;
• Guitar 10, 20, 30;
• Music 10, 20, 30;
• Studio Art 20, 30;
• Visual Art 10, 20, 30;
• Art dramatique 10, 20, 30;
• Art visuels 10, 20, 30;
• Danse 10, 20, 30; and,
• Musique 10, 20, 30.

Applicants should have experience teaching the curricula selected. The current meeting format is online. If the format changes to in-person, the ministry will provide lunch for all participants. School divisions and First Nations education authorities will be responsible for costs associated with substitutes, meals, travel and accommodation.

This work aligns with Inspiring Success: First Nations and Métis PreK-12 Education Policy Framework, which envisions an education system that foundationally places Indigenous knowledge systems, cultures and languages within the structures, policies and curricula to ensure an equitable and inclusive system that benefits all learners.

Teachers who participated on previous implementation working teams are asked to re-apply; new participants are welcome.

Please complete the application by October 22, 2021.
