BC's new K-12 Learning Pathways are now posted on the Ministry's curriculum website. This includes the re-imagined literacy and numeracy performance standards, now called Learning Progressions. curriculum.gov.bc.ca/learning-pathw… #sd38learn #bcedchat #numeracy

To clarify, in BC, we define literacy & numeracy, separately, yet connected, to ELA & math. We have clearly defined curriculum required learning standards for ELA and math. These new resources below are optional supports connecting literacy, and numeracy to all areas of learning.
