Draft Curriculum and Curriculum-related Documents: Public Review and Feedback

The BC Ministry of Education sets the standards of learning for Kindergarten to Grade 12. These standards of learning are outlined in the Integrated Resource Packages (IRPs) which constitute the provincial curriculum. IRPs contain standard-based learning outcomes and achievement indicators for each subject area.

Research and consultation form an integral part of the process of revising existing provincial curricula or developing new ones. This page provides access to IRPs under development. Teachers, parents, education partners and stakeholders are invited to provide feedback by filling in the attached response forms, or by forwarding comments directly to the Ministry of Education:

Your input is valued and plays an important role in helping the Ministry make final decisions in developing the final version of the IRPs. Opportunities for district in-depth curriculum reviews, or piloting a specific, new or revised curriculum may be available for certain subject areas.
