Core Curriculum: Plans for Implementation (Saskatchewan Education, 1987) defines the Core Curriculum as including seven Required Areas of Study and the Common Essential Learnings. Driver Education fits under the Practical and Applied Arts area of Core Curriculum at the Secondary Level.

Four Saskatchewan Education documents elaborate on the concept of Core Curriculum.

Understanding the Common Essential Learnings: A Handbook for Teachers (1988) defines, explains, and expands upon the Common Essential Learnings.

Instructional Approaches: A Framework for Professional Practice (1991) describes and expands upon an understanding of a variety of instructional approaches, strategies, and methods for use in the classroom.

Student Evaluation: A Teacher Handbook (1991) provides information and examples of assessment tools that may be used in the assessment and evaluation of student achievement.

The Adaptive Dimension in Core Curriculum (1992) describes the adaptations a instructor/teacher can make to accommodate the diverse needs of students.

To support Core Curriculum, Saskatchewan Education has other initiatives. These include Gender Equity, Indian and Métis perspectives, and Resource-Based Learning. These initiatives can be viewed as principles that guide the development of curricula, instructional practice, and evaluation in the classroom. The initiatives outlined in the following statements have been integrated into this Guideline.
