​​随着夏天的结束和新学年的开始，我想花一点时间写封信，向大家汇报最新情况，表示感谢，并最后祝愿大家未来的学年顺利。 

我为艾伯塔政府与我们的教育伙伴合作以及我们共同为支持学生在课堂内外取得成功所做的激动人心的事情感到非常自豪。

我首先要感谢和表扬每一位辛勤工作的老师、教育助理、校长和教师领导、学校管理人员和支持人员、校车司机、承包商以及所有参与确保我们学校保持安全、关爱和欢迎的空间，为学生提供世界一流教育的人员。您们的工作是艾伯塔教育系统的核心，也受到了艾伯塔政府的高度赏识。 

众所周知，艾伯塔的人口正在增长，学校的入学率也在增加。我们的政府意识到，尽管这种增长带来了许多正面影响，但也伴随着挑战，这就是我们为什么在夏季做出资金承诺，额外投资1.25亿美元用于应对入学率增长和通货膨胀压力的运营成本。在未来三年内，我们将提供超过12亿美元来解决入学率增长问题。今年我们还将继续提供额外的入学率增长资助。 

我们知道，规划艾伯塔的未来，建设和现代化学校是至关重要的，因此我们在未来三年内投资28亿美元来维护、加强、规划和建设新学校。我们的资本计划在艾伯塔省推进了43个优先学校项目，包括28所新学校、10所更换学校和5所现代化学校。完成后，这些项目将创造35,000个新的和现代化的学生空间。 

我们意识到，一些学校管理机构目前需要更多的学生空间，这就是我们在7月宣布，我们将投资9000万美元购买模块化教室，以帮助解决迫在眉睫的入学压力和紧急的空间需求。这将购买多达100个模块化教室，并支持在最需要的社区搬迁多达50个教室。 

所有这些都是建立在艾伯塔政府在2024/25学年投资创纪录的93亿美元教育基础之上的，包括4400万美元用于继续政府致力于解决课堂复杂性并改善对教育助手和其他专业人员（如辅导员、心理医生和职业治疗师）的访问。2024年预算还提供15亿美元的学习支持资助，其中包括资助学校管理机构为学生提供心理和社会情感支持、接触心理健康工作者和其他健康支持所需的资金。 

在本学年，该省的62个学校管理机构选择进行新的K-6社会研究课程的试点。艾伯塔政府感谢每个学校管理机构和参与课堂试点流程的老师。您们的反馈将对我们完成最终的新的K-6社会研究课程非常宝贵，我期待从您们今年的经验中学到更多。 

此外，全省实施了新的4-6年级法语第一语言和文学、法语沉浸语言艺术和文学以及科学课程。 

艾伯塔教育部在new.LearnAlberta.ca上提供了各种支持和资源，以支持实施，包括：

• 一个省级资源审查指南，其中包括选择与新课程对齐的学习和教学资源的新指南；
• 过渡资源，以帮助从当前课程过渡到新课程；
• 概述和新课程的方向的视频和支持文件；
• 样本课程计划等规划工具；
• 在new.LearnAlberta.ca上可以进行教师规划、协作和共享的功能（板块）；以及
• 有关灵活的专业学习机会的信息。
  

我也非常感激您们在执行教室个人移动设备新规定上的支持，这将有助于减少分心，允许学生集中精力学习，通过使设备保持静音或关机并且看不见来实现。尽管限制将在9月1日生效，但学校管理机构有直到2025年1月来最终确定他们的政策和程序并在学校社区内实施。 

通过对教育的创纪录投资、与我们的教育伙伴的紧密合作以及艾伯塔多样化、富有才华和辛勤工作的学生，我对我们有又一个成功的学年有信心。 

再次，我向所有老师、教师领导、支持人员和所有致力于艾伯塔儿童的学习、成功和健康的人员表示衷心感谢。谢谢你们所做的一切，祝您未来的学年一切顺利！

我附上一封（英文和法文）致家长的信​​，并希望你们能请你们的学校社区向家长分发这封信。 

祝好， 

Demetrios Nicolaides ECA 博士
教育部长

​​As summer winds down and a new school year begins, I want to take a moment to send a note with updates, acknowledgements, and finally, my well wishes for a great year ahead. 

I am incredibly proud of the Alberta government’s collaboration with our education partners and all the exciting things we are doing together to support student success in the classroom and beyond.

I want to begin by thanking and acknowledging each of you: our hardworking teachers, educational assistants, principals and teacher leaders, school administration and support staff, bus drivers, contractors, and everyone else involved in ensuring our schools remain safe, caring, and welcoming spaces, delivering a world-class education to students. Your work is at the heart of Alberta’s education system and is deeply appreciated by Alberta’s government. 

As you know, Alberta’s population is growing, and school enrolment is too. Our government recognizes that while this growth has many positives, it also comes with challenges, which is why we made a funding commitment over the summer to invest an additional $125 million for operational costs associated with enrolment growth and inflationary pressures. In total, over the next three years, we are providing more than $1.2 billion to address enrolment growth. We will also be continuing our supplemental enrolment growth funding this year.

We know that building and modernizing schools is crucial as we plan for Alberta’s future, and we have invested $2.8 billion over three years to maintain, enhance, plan, and build new schools. Our capital plan advances 43 priority school projects across Alberta, including 28 new schools, 10 replacement schools, and five modernizations. When complete, these projects will create 35,000 new and modernized student spaces.

We recognize that some school authorities need more student spaces now, which is why we announced in July that we are making a $90 million investment in modular classrooms to help address emergent enrolment pressures and urgent space needs. This will purchase of up to 100 modular classrooms and support the relocation of up to 50 more, in the communities with the greatest needs. 

This all builds on the record $9.3 billion Alberta’s government is investing in education for the 2024/25 school year, including $44 million to continue government’s commitment to addressing classroom complexity and improving access to educational assistants and other professionals, such as counsellors, psychologists and occupational therapists. Budget 2024 also provides $1.5 billion for learning support funding, which includes funding that allows school authorities to provide students with psychological and social-emotional supports, access to mental health workers and other wellness supports, as needed. 

This school year, 62 school authorities across the province have chosen to pilot the new draft K-6 social studies curriculum. Alberta’s government appreciates every school authority and teacher participating in the classroom piloting process. Your feedback will be invaluable as we work to finalize the new K-6 social studies curriculum, and I look forward to learning more from your experiences this year. 

In addition, new curriculums in grades 4 to 6 French first language and literature, French immersion language arts and literature and science are being implemented province-wide.

Alberta Education has provided a variety of supports and resources on new.LearnAlberta.ca, to support implementation including:

• a provincial resource review guide with new guidelines for selecting learning and teaching resources aligned to new curriculum;
• bridging resources to assist with transitioning from the current curriculum to the new;
• videos and support documents with an overview and orientation to the new curriculums;
• planning tools such as sample lesson plans;
• functionality on new.LearnAlberta.ca​ that allows for teacher planning, collaboration and sharing (boards); and
• information about flexible professional learning opportunities.
  

I also greatly appreciate your support in implementing the new rules on personal mobile devices in classrooms, which will help to reduce distractions and allow students to focus on learning by keeping devices silent or powered off and out of view. While restrictions come into effect on September 1, school authorities have until January 1, 2025, to finalize their policies and procedures and roll these out within their school community. 

With record investment in education, strong collaboration with our education partners, and Alberta’s diverse, talented, and hardworking students, I am confident we have all the ingredients for another successful school year.

Once again, I extend my sincere thanks to all teachers, teacher leaders, support staff, and all those dedicated to the learning, success, and well-being of Alberta’s children. Thank you for all you do, and best wishes for a great year ahead!

I have attached a letter to parents (In English and French)​, with good wishes for the year ahead. I would greatly appreciate it if you could ask your school communities to distribute the letter to parents.

Best,

Minister of Education
