Introduction to Concentus Citizenship Education Foundation
The Concentus Justice-Oriented Approach to Citizenship Education is uniquely Canadian. The system of tools at its center, The Power 5, synergizes seemingly separate components and demands of K-12 curricula, supporting teachers to create equitable, engaging, and empowering classroom learning cultures and schools. This part of the site provides an introduction to the Concentus Approach.
An Invitation to Lead and Learn
Citizenship opportunities and challenges surround us. Facing these situations requires our attention, consideration, and action, if our citizenship is to be sustained. The resources that follow provide an opportunity for you, the teacher, to think about the fundamental nature of citizenship.
Cultural Responsiveness
Honouring Multiple Perspectives
These resources ask students to think deeply about citizenship realities. Conversations that surface during this thinking need to be respectful of the many worldviews and perspectives within classrooms. As a result, teachers are asked to facilitate student exploration of citizenship in a culturally responsive manner.
