Our Programs
Regular Program at the CBE
Even though most of our schools offer a regular program, no two are quite the same. All schools teach according to Alberta Education’s mandated curriculum, however a school’s focus, optional courses and school activities are as unique as every school.
Literacy & Learning
The Learning and Literacy (L&L) classes are for students grades 4 to 9, identified with learning disabilities impacting reading acquisition. Students diagnosed with a specific learning disorder (SLD) with impairment in reading can also be referred when there are indications that they are able to leverage supports through spoken language. If the student shows significant oral language difficulties or a language disorder, they may not be appropriate of an L&L class.
The goal of L&L is to assist each student gaining skills, knowledge, and competencies in reaching their academic, social, and emotional potential. The emphasis of instruction is on developing literacy skills (reading and writing) within an inclusive classroom environment. Inclusive learning technologies, curriculum design, accommodations, and all key components of programming for students with learning disabilities are implemented based on each student’s individual needs.
