Its not purely a matter of curriculum though. The delivery of the education itself can be more focused to be on the learner. The Alberta Government has also released two documents called Inspiring Education and Inspiring Action and both of these documents allude to more learner centered education.
I also spoke with a principal of a middle school in my riding where they have really changed the delivery of education to be much more learner focused, and it has produced good results. I spoke with a number of parents with children in the school and not surprisingly the students love it! As a result the parents also prefer that methodology.
Its not a case where kids are being taught the wrong things, just a case where they might learn better if the pace and setting are modified for them.
