Goals
In social studies, history, and geography, and all the subjects in Canadian and world studies, students
realize the vision for the program as they:
• develop the ability to use the“concepts of disciplinary thinking”to investigate issues, events, and
developments;
• develop the ability to determine and apply appropriate criteria to evaluate information and evidence
and to make judgements;
• develop skills and personal attributes that are needed for discipline-specific inquiry and that can be
transferred to other areas in life;
• build collaborative and cooperative working relationships;
• use appropriate technology as a tool to help them gather and analyse information,solve problems,
and communicate.
