Alberta Teachers Institute on Parliamentary Democracy
An Inspired Way to Teach Parliamentary Democracy
The Alberta Teachers Institute on Parliamentary Democracy brings together teachers to participate in an intensive professional development opportunity. The program provides participants with unique access to the Legislature, where they explore the traditions and roles of Alberta's parliament and enjoy an opportunity to network with fellow educators from across the province.
The 2023 program took place at the Legislature from Sunday, November 5th to Tuesday, November 7th.
This three-day in person event brought 23 educators together from across Alberta to network with each other and learn about our province’s democracy firsthand.
The next Alberta Teachers Institute on Parliamentary Democracy will take place at the Legislature in May 2025.
Applications will open in September 2024.
Each year, this opportunity is open to educators currently teaching within the field of education or public programming, with a demonstrated interest in citizenship, history, parliamentary democracy or social studies.
Please contact education@assembly.ab.ca for any inquiries about the Alberta Teachers Institute.
Education plays an integral role in strengthening our democracy, institutions, freedoms and liberties. Teachers can instill an understanding of the parliamentary system that inspires life-long participation.
