Given how challenging a year 2025 was for Alberta education, I decided it should be the sole focus of the interview.

An interesting moment came when I brought up teacher workload: #AbEd #AbLeg
This is a screenshot of section of text in the article. It says: "What we hear from Alberta teachers is that they are asked to do more for that salary. It takes longer to mark papers for a class of 38 than a class of 30. And the government has added more mandatory bureaucratic tasks. How do you respond to that assertion? We could make it easier for teachers, there's no doubt about that. And maybe one of the things we have to look at, like they're doing in Ontario, is having each child graduate with trades education. Maybe we need to integrate better with community colleges with the registered apprenticeship program so that it does take a bit of a load off the academic instruction. Maybe there's a need for us to look at different ways of delivering education. I'm very interested to see that there is some artificial intelligence (AI) assisted learning that helps individualize programs for each child. And we want to make sure that the job is manageable for teachers, that they wake up every day wanting to go to school and see the kids and they're not feeling overwhelmed or frustrated or stressed."

Outliers: classrooms with more than 10 ILP and EAL students.

All my core classes! I’m an outlier…!?!?

No. This is the new normal in Alberta classrooms.

And here’s the TL;DR video version: www.cbc.ca/player/play/...
Just how “new” is the Alberta government promise of 3,000 new teachers? #AbEd #AbLeg
What does a promise to hire 3,000 new Alberta teachers really mean?
The Alberta government promised to hire 3,000 more teachers during the recent strike. Some critics say the pledge is misleading.
