Ministry of Education calls for curriculum development teams for second languages

The Ministry of Education is assembling provincial curriculum development teams to draft curriculum for second languages for grades 5‒12, and has asked the BC Teachers’ Federation to appoint 16 representatives.

Eight curriculum teams will be formed for the following languages:

• American Sign Language
• German
• Italian
• Japanese
• Korean
• Mandarin
• Punjabi
• Spanish

Note that the BCTF selection committee can only appoint BCTF representatives, and not educators from independent schools. Interested educators who are not active BCTF members should contact the Ministry's Curriculum and Assessment Department.

More information and the application form can be found on the BCTF webpage (http://www.bctf.ca/opportunities/MinistryCommittees.aspx) or by clicking on the file below.

The deadline to apply is June 22nd at 5:00pm.
