Mahsi, Mr. Chair. There have been some changes within the Alberta educational system. As you know, we follow their curriculum and also the AATs. NWT has used grades 3, 6 and 9 AATs as a large-scale assessment since 2007. Alberta is embarking on their own educational renewal process. Obviously, they’re making some changes to the focus on student assessment. Because NWT is using AATs that are being phased out, we also need to decide whether we want to follow Alberta or have our own northern tool that we can use. We are still currently using AATs, I believe, in the Grade 3 area. This eventually will phase out but we need to identify what is the best tool that we can use to assist those individual students, whether it be grades 3, 6 and 9, that we’ve done since 2007 with the AATs, but we are currently exploring what Alberta is moving to and possibly have our own system as well.
