British Columbia Curriculum Alignment
Forward Education's classroom kits are aligned to the British Columbia curriculum, the competency-based framework built around Big Ideas, Curricular Competencies, and Content learning standards. Alignments cover the Science learning standards through Grade 10, the Mathematics learning standards, and the English Language Arts learning standards, matched to BC's own strands such as Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Earth and Space, Computational Fluency, and Story/Text. Every alignment below was verified learning standard by learning standard, so teachers in Vancouver, Surrey, and every district across the province can see exactly where each lesson fits their curriculum.
How we count: Each percentage reflects how many individual standards are addressed by at least one lesson, project, or tutorial within that product. Because many of our activities are interdisciplinary, multiple lessons may align to the same standard, so your students will often have more than one opportunity to practice each expectation throughout the kit.
