Abstract	The Canadian province of Alberta has been an active participant in the preliminary work that has begun on the Western Canadian Protocol Social Studies K-12 Common Curriculum Framework. After the foundation document was drafted, responses to that document were gathered through use of a common response form. Overall, general support was given for: the participation of Aboriginal and Francophone "voices" in the development of the document and future development of the common curriculum framework; the first paragraph of the vision statement; the definition of social studies, particularly the reference to "active and responsible citizens"; the organizers included in the model of social studies; and the roles of social studies and principles for writing a common curriculum framework. Although there was a high level of support for the foundation document from respondents affiliated with Francophone student populations, several areas of concern were identified. The response document is divided into the following sections: (1) Executive Summary; (2) Background; (3) Summary of Responses and Recommendations; (4) Other Recommendations (General Support; Specificity/Distinct Outcomes for Two Groups; Identity; Citizenship; Role of Social Studies and Guiding Principles; Aboriginal People; Explicit Research Basis; Other Ideas; Recommendations); and (5) Appendices, which include: summaries of the respondents by reviewer type, by affiliation, and by student population group; the quantitative data; and a summary of the coded comments.
