Thank you for visiting EduGAINS.

This website will be retired on December 31, 2020.

K-12 educators from Ontario’s publicly funded schools can continue to access selected EduGAINS resources by signing into eCommunity Ontario in the Virtual Learning Environment. Search for the course name “EDU Resources Community”.

In June 2020, the Ontario Ministry of Education introduced the Curriculum and Resources website. This bilingual digital space provides parents, educators and the public access to curriculum and learning resources in a user- and mobile-friendly format. The website is fully accessible and will grow steadily with more content and features over time.

Curriculum  
New Release - Educational Resources

 Pre-Publication version of the revised SSHG and CWS curriculum in response to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s Calls to Action #62 and #63.

This document was used at the regional implementation sessions and only includes the strands and courses that were revised. For ease in implementation all of the changes and additions are highlighted in grey.


"We Speak for the Land" - Summary Report

This document is a valuable resource in which Indigenous perspectives/voices are shared on Treaties in Ontario. It forms a large part of Ontario’s journey of reconciliation with Indigenous peoples and is a good resource that teachers can use to teach about Indigenous peoples living in Ontario and Treaties.

Literacy K-12  

SCOPE: Collective Efficacy 5

This is the fifth in a series of research synopses that documents the impact of collective efficacy, and the strong link between teacher efficacy and student achievement. This research synopsis shows that collective efficacy had the strongest independent effect on achievement than any other variable in the study.

ALERT: Make Room for Supporting Understanding of Graphic Text

Although graphic texts, such as infographics, may at first appear relatively accessible, effective readers need support to understand the way visual and print language works to convey meaning. This new ALERT helps teachers support adolescent readers to derive meaning, both explicit and implicit, from the graphic texts they encounter.
