The panoramic photographs of Manitoba landscapes in the website banners are used with the kind permission of © Stan Milosevic.

The “landscape” images and metaphor illustrated in the website banners represent current understandings about curriculum presented in the “Guiding Principles for WNCP Curriculum Framework Projects” (Western and Northern Canadian Protocol, 2011).

New ways of thinking about curriculum involve a “shift in the images we use, away from knowledge pictured as fragmented pieces put together, one piece at a time, in a linear fashion on an assembly line, to an image of knowledge as a complex organic network organized into living fields, territories or 'landscapes'. Learning about these living fields of knowledge requires: 'learning the landscape'.”

Music

Manitoba Curriculum Framework

The Music Education frameworks provide the basis for learning, teaching, and assessment of music from Kindergarten to Grade 12 in Manitoba schools. The documents identify the recursive learnings for music and form the basis for the development of curriculum implementation resources and 9 to 12 course development. They are intended to assist teachers and administrators with music curriculum implementation and with planning professional learning.
