Curriculum Support

Overview

Teaching about environmental sustainability has never been more important as we increasingly feel the effects of an unsustainable human footprint on the planet’s systems.

Can teachers weave more environmental and sustainability education into their everyday practice while delivering on the current curriculum? The answer is a resounding YES! ACEE is committed to supporting teachers across Alberta by developing curriculum links between climate, sustainability, and our environment to the AB Programs of Study.
