Computer Science
“The use of information technology will help enable all students to solve problems, improve their personal performance, and gain the critical and abstract thinking skills necessary to become lifelong learners and contributing members of their communities” (Manitoba Education and Training, Technology As a Foundation Skill Area).
Arts Education
The Northwest Territories Department of Education, Culture and Employment adheres to the WNCP's Framework for Arts Education which contains a strong media education component. For Grades 1 to 9, the department follows the Saskatchewan curriculum for Arts Education.
Literacy with ICT Across the Curriculum
In the Northwest Territories technology, literacy and communication, problem solving, and human relations are considered "foundation skills" and are included in a wide range of curricula from Kindergarten to Grade 12. This approach is based on a focus on inquiry, critical and creative thinking, digital citizenship, multiple literacies (including digital literacies) and a gradual release of responsibility from the instructor to the student, with the ultimate goal of making the student responsible for his or her learning.
