BC Curriculum Updates? Keep Your Lessons Aligned Without Starting Over.

BC’s redesigned curriculum is already in place, but alignment still takes work. CARL helps you refresh plans around BC’s Big Ideas, Curricular Competencies, and Content. Compass helps you see what is taught, planned, and still needs attention.

The Reality

BC Curriculum Alignment Shouldn’t Mean Rebuilding Everything.

BC’s curriculum gives teachers a flexible, competency-driven structure, but that flexibility can still create planning work. Older lessons, units, and resources may not map neatly onto Big Ideas, Curricular Competencies, and Content.

  • Older lessons may not map neatly to current BC curriculum language
  • Big Ideas, Curricular Competencies, and Content need to connect clearly
  • Coverage can be hard to track across the year
  • Planning and reporting can still spill into evenings and weekends
  • It is not always obvious what has been taught, planned, or left to cover
BC Curriculum Context

Built Around BC’s Know-Do-Understand Model.

BC’s curriculum is organized around Content (Know), Curricular Competencies (Do), and Big Ideas (Understand). That structure gives teachers flexibility, but it also means curriculum alignment is more than checking off a list.

Understand Big Ideas The larger concepts students are building toward across a subject or grade.
Do Curricular Competencies The skills, processes, and ways of thinking students are expected to develop.
Know Content The topics, knowledge, and details students work with as they learn.
One Connected Workflow

Move From “What Changed?” To “What Do I Teach Next?”

CARL and Compass work together so BC curriculum alignment feels less like starting over and more like updating what already works.

1

Bring in what you already have

Upload lessons, unit plans, notes, PDFs, or rough outlines instead of rebuilding from a blank page.

2

Match it to current curriculum

CARL helps align the plan. Compass helps show which expectations your plan already addresses.

3

Fill the gaps faster

See what still needs attention, then use plan ideas to build or schedule what comes next.

Update or create the plan

Find Out What Your Plans Already Cover.

Compass scans your plans and helps you see which curriculum expectations are taught, planned, or still waiting for attention. That means fewer spreadsheets and less guessing.

  • Upload a plan and review suggested curriculum matches
  • Track taught, planned, and to-do expectations
  • See coverage by class, subject, and grade
  • Catch gaps before report card time
  • Compass supports all Canadian provinces

Demo: Scan a plan and review which curriculum expectations it already covers.

From Coverage Gaps To Lesson Plans

See What’s Missing. Build What You Need.

Compass shows which expectations still need coverage. When you spot a gap, use plan ideas to create a CARL-ready lesson that is aligned and ready to teach.

Compass Shows the gap What is taught, planned, or still to do
Plan Ideas Suggests what comes next Choose the curriculum item you want to cover
CARL Builds the plan Create an aligned plan for that gap

Demo: Move from coverage gaps to a ready-to-build lesson workflow.

BC Curriculum FAQ

Questions BC Teachers Might Be Asking

Does CARL support BC curriculum?

Yes. CARL currently supports curriculum-aligned lesson planning for BC, Alberta, and Ontario. Teachers should still review generated plans and confirm alignment with current official curriculum documents.

How does Compass help with BC curriculum alignment?

Compass helps teachers track what has been taught, what is planned, and what still needs attention, so coverage is easier to review across classes, subjects, and reporting periods.

Can I use my existing lessons and unit plans?

Yes. The workflow is designed around bringing in what teachers already have, then reviewing how those plans connect to current curriculum expectations.
