My Child's Learning: A Parent Resource from Alberta Education

Alberta Education has created the My Child's Learning Parent Resource which will provide you with a better understanding of Alberta’s curriculum and related information for your child. This tool can help you discover what your child is learning, how they’re assessed and what resources are available to help them be successful from Kindergarten to Grade 12.

Knowledge & Employability (K&E)

The K&E courses are designed for students in grades 8 to 12 who demonstrate reading, writing, mathematical and/or other levels of achievement two to three grade levels below their age-appropriate grade.  K&E courses provide students with opportunities to experience success and to become well prepared for employment, further studies, citizenship and lifelong learning.

To determine if K&E courses might be the right choice for your child, review the specific criteria outlined in the Knowledge and Employability Courses Handbook: Grades 8-12 (see page 3).  Knowledge and Employability Programs of Study provide information about the content and outcomes of K&E courses.  For more information about the relationship between K&E courses and CTS courses, see the Knowledge and Employability section of the Guide to Career and Technology Studies (CTS) (see page 14).
