About Alberta Voices
Published three times per year, Alberta Voices is a professional newsjournal for English language arts teachers in Alberta.
It is published to
- promote the professional development of English language arts educators in Alberta,
- stimulate thinking, explore new ideas and offer various viewpoints.
Alberta Voices provides information on issues concerning English language arts, lesson plans and activities for K–12 classrooms, curriculum and resource updates, research, conference information, regional news and creative work from students and teachers.

- reviews or evaluations of instructional and curricular methods, programs or materials;
- discussions of trends, issues or policies; and
- short literary and imaginative pieces of writing.
