Re: April 1998 EDUCATIONAL CHANGE UPDATE
As part of an ongoing effort to provide you with relevant and timely information, and to assist you with your short- and long-term planning and implementation, I am pleased to provide you with the April 1998 Educational Change Update which outlines specific implementation details of educational renewal initiatives.
Many sections in the attached Educational Change Update apply to all four school programs: English, Français, French Immersion, and Senior Years Technology Education Programs. Please be advised that a French version of this letter will be released shortly.
The adjustments reflected in the attached Educational Change Update are based on comments and suggestions received by the Department from the educational partners, and are designed to enhance successful implementation of New Directions. We continue to be appreciative of your important and ongoing feedback and input.
Please place this update in your copy of the Administrative Handbook, along with earlier correspondence listed within this update, so you have an ongoing reference to support your planning and implementation. Please refer to the Table of Contents for the page reference.
Thank you for the commitment and dedication you’ve shown as, together, we introduce meaningful change to our educational system for the benefit of Manitoba students. We look forward to our continuing partnership and to the many exciting opportunities for Manitoba’s Kindergarten to Senior 4 educational system.
Yours sincerely,
John D. Carlyle
