BTPS Supports

With BTPS students in mind, we have built a Hapara Workspace with a large variety of Indigenous resources.  To honour teachers' busy schedules, this workspace is meant to be a one-stop-shop where BTPS teachers can quickly access ideas, lesson plans, internet resources, PD options, etc, that include Indigenous perspectives and are relevant to all subjects areas of Alberta curricula.  Access permitted to BTPS accounts only.
