Environmental Education, 2008

The Ontario Curriculum Grades 9-12

This resource document has been prepared to assist teachers in bringing environmental education into the classroom in each discipline in Grades 9 to 12. Some disciplines, by virtue of their content, are more closely linked to the study of environmental topics and issues than others, but all disciplines provide opportunities to incorporate environmental education to some extent. This document identifies both the expectations that are connected explicitly with aspects of environmental education, and those that can provide opportunities to make connection to environmental topics or issues in various ways, and some suggestions for making such connections are given in brief comments.

The references in this document are to current curriculum documents as of May 2008. This resource will be updated periodically as revised curriculum documents are released.

The complete resource guide is also available as an Adobe Acrobat file. (PDF, 1.3 MB)
