The following is being issued at the request of the Teacher Allocation Review Committee.
The Teacher Allocation Review Committee invites teachers and other educators, parents, students, education stakeholders, and the public to offer their thoughts and ideas on class size and composition. Input can be provided to the committee by completing an online questionnaire, submitting a written submission, or participating in virtual facilitated meetings, which you can attend from your home, office or classroom.
On December 21, 2021, the Minister of Education appointed a committee to review the current Teacher Allocation Model consisting of Dr. Marian Fushell, Dr. Ross Elliott, and Mr. David Brown. In the Terms of Reference, the committee was asked to review the current resources, consult with parents, students, teachers, and other stakeholders, consider innovative approaches to delivery of education services, recommend allocations of resources and class sizes for different schools, and recommend ways to meet unexpected or emerging needs.
The committee has been working through the initial phase, developing surveys, gathering information, and preparing for public consultations, and it is now ready to hear from all educational stakeholders.
The committee kindly asks you to participate in this review as the information gathered will help ensure students continue to receive the necessary services to meet their learning needs. All the information and instructions for participation can be found online here.
