Engage with Alberta Education

The following is an excerpt from the ASCA News Sept Oct 2010:

Visit the Alberta Education Inspiring Action website at engage.education.alberta.ca to complete a “transformation guide” on engagement in public education, and share your thoughts and ideas on parents’ involvement in education. As well, enter the Ideas Forum to participate interactively with others and discuss what education could/might look like.

Get inspired. Get involved.
This is your chance to help shape the future of education in Alberta

Comments to the survey. 

1. Continue the Dialogue. The survey is OK but no room for comment.  The refinement, interpretation and implementation of the policy directions needs the dialogue initiated by Inspiring Education, at provincial, local and school levels.  
2. Current options in education for parents needs to be maintained and enhanced.  Parents still need to be given the primary responsibility for the education of their children.  Parents that are unable to fulfill  this responsibility adequately need to be coached to do so by parents who are doing a good job.
3. Human interaction needs to take precedence over interaction with technology.  No mater how good technology mimics human interaction productive, caring citzens will be best developed by human beings (Mainly Parents and Teachers)..

If you have comments, please add them below to contribute to the dialogue.
