6 203 GLOSSARY 2113 PREFACEThis document replaces The Ontario Curriculum : Social Studies, Grades 1 to 6; history and Geography, Grades 7 and 8, 2013. Beginning in September 2018 all social studies, history , and geography programs for Grades 1 to 8 will be based on the expectations outlined in this edition of the Curriculum includes a revision of the social studies and history Curriculum ,1 developed in collaboration with First Nations, M tis, and Inuit educators, community members, and organizations. The revision was undertaken in response to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada s calls to action numbers 62 and 63. ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS FOR THE TWENTY-FIRST CENTURYO ntario elementary schools strive to support high-quality learning while giving every student the opportunity to learn in the way that is best suited to their individual strengths and needs.

7 The Ontario Curriculum is designed to help every student reach their full potential through a program of learning that is coherent, relevant, and age appropriate. It recognizes that, today and in the future, students need to be critically literate in order to synthesize information, make informed decisions, communicate effectively, and thrive in an ever-changing global community. It is important that students be connected to the Curriculum , that they see themselves in what is taught, how it is taught, and how it applies to the world at large. The Curriculum recognizes that the needs of learners are diverse and helps all learners develop the knowledge, skills, and perspectives they need to become informed, productive, caring, responsible, and active citizens in their own communities and in the STUDENTS WELL-BEING AND ABILITY TO LEARNP romoting the healthy development of all students, as well as enabling all students to reach their full potential, is a priority for educators across Ontario .

8 Students health and well-being contribute to their ability to learn in all disciplines, including social studies, history , and geography, and that learning in turn contributes to their overall well-being. Educators play an important role in promoting children and youth s well-being by creating, fostering, and sustaining a learning environment that is healthy, caring, safe, inclusive, and accepting. A learning environment of this kind will support not only students cognitive, emotional, social, and physical development but also their sense of self and spirit, their mental health, their resilience, and their overall state of well-being. All this will help them achieve their full potential in school and in This revision focused specifically on strands with content pertaining to history .

9 Consequently, there may be some differences in terminology and style in REVISED and unrevised Ontario Curriculum | Social Studies, Grades 1 to 6; history and Geography, Grades 7 and 8A variety of factors, known as the determinants of health , have been shown to affect a person s overall state of well-being. Some of these are income, education and literacy, gender and culture, physical and social environment, personal health practices and coping skills, and availability of health services. Together, such factors influence not only whether individuals are physically healthy but also the extent to which they have the physical, social, and personal resources needed to cope and to identify and achieve personal aspirations. These factors also have an impact on student learning, and it is important to be aware of them as factors contributing to a student s performance and educator s awareness of and responsiveness to students cognitive, emotional, social, and physical development, and to their sense of self and spirit, is critical to their success in school.

10 A number of research-based frameworks, including those described in Early Learning for Every Child Today: A Framework for Ontario Early Childhood Settings (2007), On My Way: A Guide to Support Middle Years Child Development (2017), and Stepping Stones: A Resource on Youth Development (2012),2 identify developmental stages that are common to the majority of students from Kindergarten to grade 12. At the same time, these frameworks recognize that individual differences, as well as differences in life experiences and exposure to opportunities, can affect development, and that developmental events are not specifically age-dependent. The framework described in Stepping Stones is based on a model that illustrates the complexity of human development. Its components the cognitive, emotional, physical, and social domains are interrelated and interdependent, and all are subject to the influence of a person s environment or context.
