The mandate of the Department of Education
is to develop and maintain a provincial system of
education which encourages all students to develop
their full potential as individuals and as members of society.
The Division of Program Development supports this mandate by developing
new curricula, obtaining learning resources which support them, and determining
their effectiveness in the classroom.
As a partner in the Newfoundland and Labrador Heritage Project,
the Division provided curriculum consultation to help ensure that
the unit of study, The Confederation Debate: 50 Years and Counting,
was consistent with the Confederation theme articulated in the Canadian History 1201 course.
This portion of the site debuted in high schools between
April and June 1999 as part of the Canadian History 1201 course.
