OHASSTA / AESHO is pleased to partner with the Ministry of Education to develop resources and supports for the revised Civics and Citizenship curriculum (2022). We have developed a phased project as part of this partnership.
CHV2O Course Packages 2022
A free comprehensive course package for educators that provides entire unit plans to effectively deliver culturally-responsive and relevant Civics learning that emphasizes human rights, equity and diversity, and student voice.
Designed to meet the needs of educators who have extensive experience, some experience or no experience with teaching Civics, this is a ‘plug and play’ course outline and package with classroom-ready resources, activities, and assessment tools designed by Ontario educators.
The course packages are available in both French and English.
