The United Kingdom is looking to Alberta’s education system to see why students here consistently earn top marks in international testing.
A British multimedia company has produced a video series called Lessons from Alberta to examine why Alberta’s public education system is so successful. The two 20-minute videos were released last month by Teachers TV, a free online service that offers educational videos and resources to people working in the British school system.
“Alberta, in Canada, has the highest performing schools in the English-speaking world,” says a summary of one of the videos on the Teachers TV website. “This video explores the roots of the region’s success, accountability, curriculum and teacher professionalism.”
