Western Canada Protocol Mathematics Team
Marian Oberg
The Western Canada Protocol Mathematics Project began in 1994 as part of the Western Canada Protocol for Collaboration in Basic Education, which was signed by ministers of education for British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, the Yukon and the Northwest Territories. The team leader for the project is Hugh Sanders from Alberta Education. Through the collaborative efforts of teachers and ministry personnel, the first part of the common curriculum framework has been completed. Copies were sent to all schools in Alberta before September ’95. Implementation in Alberta begins in September ’96 with Grades 7 and 9.
