Good post on the difficulties facing curriculum reform in Saskatchewan. The scenario will be familiar to many: "The government mandated a new curriculum, cut staff at the ministry level and asked them to write a brand new curriculum. To my knowledge, many of these were written by one individual. The results is a document that is thin on resources, and supports outside of the big idea/outcome and some supporting indicators." The problem is, the government will turn around and say, "well we tried progressive education, but it didn't work" and then purchase the entire program from Kaplan or something.
