Educating Our Parents: Understanding the Quesnel District Curriculum
Quesnel School District No. 28—along with all schools in the province—is in the process of implementing a new college and career preparatory curriculum. The curriculum is changing to reflect trends in learning and help students to focus on learning in greater depth. The curriculum will also emphasize proficiency in the foundational skills students learn in each subject area as well as develop critical thinking and communication skills. The assessment will be updated so it is relevant for the new curriculum.
While the new curriculum will ensure that essential elements of learning are applied consistently, individual teachers will have freedom and will have the ability to personalize learning and differentiate instruction to meet the diverse needs of each their students. Each content area will have a set of core competencies, and Aboriginal content—important learning for students in BC and all of Canada—will continue to be embedded. The new curriculum will be fully and officially implemented in grades K-9 by the 2016-17 school year and in grades 10-12 by 2017-18.

Chalk Talk: The Long ‘E’ Sound
The long ‘E’ sound is one of the vowel sounds students are introduced to at the primary grade levels. Students can distinguish this from the short ‘E’ by learning that the long ‘E’ sounds exactly like how they would say the name of the letter “E.” The long ‘E’ sound is usually formed by a combination of two vowels together. Words with “ee,” such as bee and queen make this sound. Many words with “ie,” such as chief and field, also make this sound. This is because, with certain vowel combinations, the first vowel remains silent. When an ‘E’ occurs at the end of a syllable, such as in me and area, it is a long vowel. When ‘Y’ acts as a vowel, as in baby, it can sometimes sound like a long ‘E.’ The digraph “ea” is an interesting case because it sometimes makes a short ‘E’ sound and sometimes makes a long ‘E’ sound. Words such as bead, leak, and treat contain a long ‘E’ sound.
