Curriculum, instruction, and assessment for Alberta classrooms
CLAIR runs as three separate platforms — one each for Mathematics, Science, and Social Studies. Each carries its full Alberta Program of Study, with lesson plans, presentations, activities, and assessments mapped to every learning outcome, from Kindergarten to Grade 9.

The Approach
How CLAIR is built
Four principles behind the platform.
Comprehensive
One repository holding the lesson materials, activities, and assessments for every unit of study.
Learning-Focused
Built around understanding and transfer of concepts, not just coverage of topics.
Assessment-Driven
Tracks student progress and reports results at the student and class level.
Instructional Support
Lesson plans and differentiated activities covering a range of learner abilities.
Designed for Alberta, by Alberta educators
CLAIR was written against the Alberta Program of Study rather than adapted from another jurisdiction's curriculum.
Teacher-Informed Design
Developed with input from practising Alberta educators.
Program of Study Alignment
Every lesson maps to Alberta's Program of Study, including the 2026 drafts for Grades 7–9.
Ready to Use or Adapt
Lesson plans work as written, and can be edited to fit your class and pacing.
Key features & benefits
Multi-media Lessons
A prepared slide deck and media set for each lesson in every unit.
Differentiated Instruction
Exercises and activities covering a range of learner abilities.
Formative & Summative Assessment
Checks for understanding during the unit plus end-of-unit assessments.
Professional Development
Supporting resources for teachers new to the platform or the curriculum.
