Session A will focus on the new Curriculum for Grades K to 9 with Suzanne Hoffman from the Langley School District leading the discussion on the changes from the past curriculum and the reasons behind the new shift.

Session B is hosted by Pat Horstead of the Ministry of Education who will offer further insight into the new curriculum that is planned for Grades 10 to 12, that curriculum change is scheduled to be introduced in September of 2017.
