Development and Peace is pleased to offer Curricular Resources from Kindergarten to Grade 12 on Religious Education, Social Studies, Language Arts, and Science - in French and English.
Development and Peace works with partners in Catholic education to produce relevant resources that are aligned with curriculum expectations. Although the curriculum links specified in the resources published in January 2017 and February 2018 are to the Alberta Education Programs of Studies, they can be easily adapted by educators in other provinces.
