Peter Fassbender, Minister of Education –
“In schools across B.C., there are many teachers who’ve already started to move personalized learning from concept to everyday practice.
“I want to thank B.C.’s teachers for their constructive and cooperative approach. They have been phenomenal partners in helping the K-12 sector redesign the curriculum and exploring other improvements in areas like graduation and student assessment.
“We’re now ready for the next step on this journey, which is to support and encourage more teachers and more schools to develop approaches that work better for students.
“On behalf of educators across the system, these innovation schools will help us find out what works and what doesn’t. This will be disciplined innovation. With greater latitude and freedom, comes greater scrutiny and responsibility to communicate how things are going.”
