CHV2O – Civics and Citizenship

Course Description

This curriculum policy presents the revised and updated curriculum expectations for the compulsory Grade 10 Civics and Citizenship course (CHV2O).

Politics is about how societies are governed, how public policy is developed, and how power is distributed. Civics is a branch of politics that focuses on the rights and responsibilities associated with citizenship, the role of governments, and how people can get involved in the political process and take action on issues of civic importance. The study of civics supports students in becoming informed, engaged, and active citizens in the various communities to which they belong, whether at the local, national, or global level.

The course has three strands. Instruction and learning related to the expectations in Strand A are to be interwoven with instruction and learning related to expectations from the other two strands. Strand A must not be seen as independent of the other strands. Student achievement of the expectations in Strand A is to be assessed and evaluated throughout the course.
