In the Alberta curriculum, we believe learning experience is important to inspire passion for learning. So there are four basic principles of teaching the Alberta programs of studies:
艾伯塔课程认为学习体验对于激发学习热情非常重要。因此艾伯塔教学有四个基本原则:
How students learn is as important as what they learn.
学生如何学习和他们学什么一样重要。
Students learn best when they actually participate in reading, writing, speaking and viewing.
当学生真正参与阅读、写作、演讲和观摩当中时，学习效果最好。
Students need to cultivate knowledge and be challenged to think critically and creatively.
在吸收知识的同时，学生要能够接受质疑和挑战，进行批判性和创造性思考。
Teachers must meet individual student needs, abilities and learning styles.
教师必须满足学生个性化的学习需要、学习能力和学习方式。
A student-centered inquiry approach to teaching and learning is emphasized by the Alberta Curriculum.

Assessment
兼顾灵活和标准化的测试
Assessment takes on many forms in Alberta education. Students are able to demonstrate what they have learned through interviews, creating, describing, building, writing, showing, explaining, interpreting, analyzing and solving. Through continuous assessment, teachers are able to see if students are meeting the curricular outcomes or if they need more support and more time to succeed.
艾伯塔课程采用多种形式进行学习成果评估，学生可以通过访谈、创造、描述、构建、写作、展示、解释、分析和解决问题来展示所学。通过持续的评估，教师能够看到学生是否达到了课程的目标，或是否需要更多的教育支持和学习时间。
At the same time, Alberta organizes external examination for schools, including diploma tests and provincial achievement tests.
同时，艾伯塔政府也会组织全省学校进行标准化考试（统考），包括毕业文凭考试和省级统考。
In order to qualify for an Alberta High School Diploma, students at the grade 12 level must write provincial examinations in core subject areas. These diploma examinations are marked by Alberta Education.
为了获得艾伯塔高中文凭，12年级的学生必须在核心学科领域参加毕业文凭考试，由艾伯塔省统一阅卷。
Achievement tests are administered annually to all students in grade 6 and 9. The results from these tests provide schools with reliable and valid information about how well their students are achieving.
