Seymour Sarason

for ourselves”

“We need to transform our Early Childhood Services to Grade 12 (ECS–12) education system to make sure Alberta’s students
are prepared for the opportunities and challenges of the 21st century.”
“If you think our future will require better schools, you're wrong. The future of education calls for entirely new kinds of learning environments.If you think we will need better teachers, you're wrong.
Tomorrow’s learners will need guides who take on fundamentally different roles.”
