This discussion explores real-world implementations of and changes to curriculum education, analyzing the key factors that have influenced these shifts. We will examine how educational policies translate into practice, the challenges faced during implementation, and the broader societal, political, and economic forces that shape curriculum decisions. Through case studies and critical analysis, we aim to understand the impact of advocacy efforts and policy changes on the educational landscape. Led by Jacklyn Saddler, Chair of the Curriculum and School Community Advocacy Interest Group at the Ontario Student Trustees’ Association (OSTA-AECO).
