Grade Nine Weekly Sketch "In the Kitchen".
.
.
The new arts document is a chimera; long awaited, tantalizing, and PROMISED for September 2010.
I was fortunate enough to be invited to a session with ministry officials three years ago. The purpose was to gain feedback from teachers, and to show off parts of the documents that were ready to go at that time.
It was a good learning experience for me, in terms of process and seeing the language of the document itself.
If the document appears in September, the plan at my school is to implement any changes starting immediately, in consultation with our sister schools in the board. Quite often, we are given PD time as a department, and work with the other schools. As far as I am aware, there is no deadline and the process of full implementation may take years.
