Nunavut Education Program

Nunavut Education Program

The development of the Nunavut Education Program is one of the primary responsibilities of the Curriculum Development division. This includes the design, development, adoption and review of Education Program content including curriculum, in the form of programs of study or resources for students, teachers and administrators, as well as those required to support inclusive education in the school system.

Curriculum

Curriculum is a general term that refers to the skills, performances, attitudes and values that students are expected to learn through their schooling. Curriculum is designed to help students achieve their individual potential and create a positive future for themselves, their families and their communities.

The Curriculum Development division is responsible for development, adoption/adaptation and implementation of all curriculum, Foundation documents, teaching resources, and student learning materials associated with programs of study for all grades (K to 12) in the Nunavut public school system.

The unit ensures that all materials used in Nunavut schools reflect education best practices, Inuit Qaujimajatuqangit, and the philosophical approaches of the Department of Education.
