Alberta’s New K-6 Curriculum
Essential Paper-Based Resources for Every Learning Environment
Hello fellow educators, parents, and homeschooling families!
The phased implementation of Alberta’s new K-6 curriculum has been a significant journey, moving from optional use in 2023 to full, province-wide implementation across Alberta elementary schools. This shift has amplified the need for high-quality, accessible Alberta curriculum resources that support not only classroom teachers but also Alberta homeschool families and students in flexible and adaptive learning programs.
For months, including the summer of 2025, I’ve dedicated myself to an intensive instructional design process, meticulously crafting a series of printable workbooks for Alberta K-6 students. My goal? To provide foundational, paper-based resources that can be easily integrated into any learning environment, offering a realistic and predictable approach to mastering the new curriculum.
Bridging the Digital Divide with Accessible Learning Tools
I understand that educational technology accessibility isn’t a given for every family. The digital divide in education remains a very real challenge, making truly inclusive learning resources paramount. That’s why building the core learning elements of these workbooks on paper was a crucial decision. These Alberta curriculum worksheets are designed for straightforward use, primarily relying on traditional pencil-and-paper responses.
However, to enrich the learning experience without overwhelming families, I’ve innovatively embedded QR codes in educational materials. These interactive learning workbooks enable students to seamlessly access a broader multimedia landscape – think supplementary videos, interactive diagrams, or audio clips – by simply scanning a code with a device. This approach minimizes the stress on parents and students of logging into multiple applications, providing a truly blended learning experience that leverages technology judiciously.
Robust Support for Classroom Teachers and Independent Learners
For Alberta elementary teachers seeking a solid foundation for their daily classroom activities, these Alberta curriculum workbooks offer an ideal backbone. They are meticulously designed to cover all Knowledge, Understanding, and Skills (KUSPs) outlined in the new curriculum. Every specific outcome that facilitates the learning of these broader objectives has been carefully addressed within these resources.
In a regular classroom setting, these independent student activities within the workbooks are perfect for “seat work,” allowing teachers the flexibility to circulate, provide individualized support, and facilitate richer, more dynamic learning experiences. Imagine the freedom to focus on collaborative learning strategies, engage in classroom discussions, or implement other pedagogically sound teaching methods while students are independently engaged.
Furthermore, these Alberta curriculum activity books make for an exceptional emergency substitute teaching plan. They provide clear, engaging tasks that any substitute can easily manage, ensuring continuity of learning even in your absence.
Whether you’re an Alberta teacher seeking to reinforce core curriculum concepts, a homeschooling parent looking for structured Alberta curriculum support, or managing an adaptive learning program, these downloadable and printable K-6 workbooks are designed to be your go-to resource.
I’m incredibly excited for you to explore how these Alberta education resources can simplify your planning and enrich the learning journey for your students.
In the spirit of keeping it simple, my resources are available on Teachers Pay Teachers; a platform accessed by teachers worldwide.
I’ve put my Grade 4 Scientific Method workbook on TPT for FREE so you can have a little peek. There are only a handful of outcomes for that unit, so the workbook is smaller than the others, but it gives you an idea as to my layout and design for these learning materials.
