During the 2016 to 2017 school year, the Québec Ministry of Education announced the rollout of a new course, "Financial Education," that would take effect the following September. This sparked a curriculum debate over its potential impact on another Grade 11 course, "Contemporary World." Tasked with preparing educators to teach both courses, the Social Sciences pedagogical consultant prepared instructional resources, organized professional learning communities, coordinated professional development training workshops, and arranged meetings with the principal, vice-principals, and board level administrators. This hypothetical case presents issues and challenges that may arise for educational leaders during the development and implementation of a new course.
