MacEwan University is an urban and metropolitan institution. As one of the anchor institutions in Edmonton’s newly revitalized urban core, MacEwan University employs over 2,000 people and educate just under 20,000 full-time and part-time students annually. MacEwan University is home to four faculties and two schools where important new ideas are discovered, taught, and transformed into actions that make a difference: Faculty of Arts and Science, Faculty of Fine Arts and Communications, Faculty of Health and Community Studies, Faculty of Nursing, School of Business, and School of Continuing Education. Our academic departments rely and build upon our faculty’s expertise. At MacEwan University, students benefit from an education that is shaped by professors who are committed to excellence in scholarship, research, teaching, and course design.
The Flight Framework is the first early learning and childcare curriculum in Alberta. It was developed by a MacEwan research team who purposefully sought broad community engagement. Flight is a curriculum framework intended to guide the significant work of early learning and childcare educators working with young children (ages 0 – before 6 years) and their families in center-based childcare and family day home settings. This is a flexible framework for thinking about how children learn and experience their worlds, and for fostering strong and diverse early childhood communities.
The MacEwan research team continues to engage early learning and childcare communities in the development of community-based curriculum resources representative of Alberta’s diversity.
It is the intent of MacEwan University to obtain proposals from Proponents on their capability, methodology and related experience in providing Website Content and Resource Design for content provided by the research team. The team has an established brand that is recognizable within Alberta’s broad early learning community. It is imperative that new curriculum resources align with current branding as further community engagements result in diverse resources representative of Alberta families.
MacEwan University expects to select an experienced and capable Contractor to provide professional, safe, and cost-effective Website Content Creation & Community Resource Development. MacEwan University historically spends approximately $35,000 annually with contractors for Website Content Creation & Community Resource Development. Services are normally performed during spring/summer months, but the successful proponent will need to be capable of providing their services year-round.
