Stirling, Alberta
Stirling is a village in the southern most part of the province of Alberta, in Warner County. Approximately 920 people call Stirling home. Stirling is only one of three communities designated as a National Historic Site of Canada.
Inspired by the student's work on town bylaws, just a short drive to the West of them at Magrath School, the students from Stirling School decided they too wanted to examine the questions and issues around bylaws in their community.
Educational Mentor Judy Martin, in collaboration with Stirling School elementary teacher Kent Evanson designed a collaborative discipline-based inquiry to the bylaws of Stirling. The work was designed to both meet the learning needs of the students and to situate the work in a new context, Stirling's bylaws.
Further explanation of teacher planning, resources, assessment, and curricular connections as it was adapted is available for Stirling's Bylaws: Then and Now
