Much of the foundation for curriculum renewal in Saskatchewan schools is based on Directions (1984). The excitement surrounding the recommendations for Core Curriculum developments will continue to build as curricula are designed and implemented to prepare students for the 21st century.
Science, as one of the Required Areas of Study, incorporates the Common Essential Learnings, the Adaptive Dimension, and other initiatives related to Core Curriculum. As we strive to achieve the goal of scientific literacy in Saskatchewan schools, much collaboration and cooperation among individuals and groups will be required. Science teachers are a key part of the process.
