As the next step in addressing complexity in classrooms, Alberta’s government has released the final report from the Aggression and Complexity in Schools Action Team.

Last summer, the Aggression and Complexity in Schools Action Team was formed to help create recommendations that will help guide the province’s response to classroom complexity. The action team has concluded its work and submitted the final report to Alberta’s government.

The report identifies key challenge areas and provides seven recommendations to address rising aggression and complexity in classrooms. The recently appointed Class Size and Complexity Cabinet Committee will use the recommendations to guide practical solutions and direct funding to where it is needed most.

“Parents and teachers are telling us classrooms are more complex than ever, and they are right. Every child deserves a safe, calm learning environment where teachers can teach and students can learn. We will not accept violence or disruption as the new normal in Alberta schools. I want to thank the action team and everyone who shared their experience so we can turn this report into real change in our schools. We will use these recommendations to develop practical solutions that make a real difference in the classroom.”
