Description

In Alberta, charter schools play an important role in supporting research and innovation in education. They were established by the Government of Alberta in 1994 as part of a larger initiative to provide choice and to foster innovation in the education system. One of the original purposes of creating charter schools was not only to support and encourage educational innovation, but also to disseminate the results of research conducted in charter schools more broadly across the Alberta education system. Fifteen years after the first charter schools opened, we are asking Albertans to help us develop a vision for the future of charter schools. In particular, we are interested in finding out what interested members of the public think about a number of ideas that have been proposed for the future role and purpose of charter schools.
