Learning Resources

In Summary

Section 3 of the Education Program Guide Order gives boards and francophone authorities the authority to determine which educational resource materials will be used in the schools under their jurisdiction. The section also limits the choice of Educational Resource Materials to those that have been approved through a provincial process OR those that have been approved through a local process established by the board or authority.

It is accepted that teachers and other educators in the system are in the best educational position to use their professional judgement with regard to learning resources in classrooms. Teachers are careful to ensure that resources in their classrooms have merit and relevance. School boards, however, are ultimately responsible for the use of any particular learning resource in a classroom within their district.
