Subject and Grade-level one-pagers

Maureen Postnikoff, a Learning Coordinator from SD20 (Trail) has reviewed the new K-9 curricula and prepared curriculum maps to help teachers get a better "at-a-glance" grasp of the changes. She has been kind enough to share them with my district and other interested TLs. (There will be some changes to Math 6-9 coming, so she will send updates when that happens, and she is currently working on PE and Health and Applied Skills.)

Share these with your staff. They could make for good discussion/planning starting points.
