Pathways to French:
This program has been created to help teachers who teach French as a Second Language in a multi-grade class, and who are not bilingual. The goal is to help teachers foster in their students those skills, abilities, and attitudes required for the development of communicative competence in the French language. Communicative competence can be defined as the ability to comprehend, and to negotiate and convey meaning in an effective, creative, and culturally appropriate manner. All the material presented in this program aims to stimulate in students the desire to continue to enhance their ability to use French. It aims to nurture these aspirations by providing a solid foundation on which students can build throughout life.

Full Circle: First Nations, Métis and Inuit Ways of Knowing is the fifth in a series of Common Threads classroom resources produced by and for Ontario Secondary School Teachers' Federation (OSSTF/FEESO) members. Each project in the series tackles an important social issue that is cross-curricular in nature
and compels students to examine their beliefs, choices and actions. This project addresses a current shortage of curricular materials that focus on First Nations, Métis and Inuit people, history and culture. Although many of these lessons can be used by teachers of Native Studies and Native Languages, they were developed for use by teachers of history, civics, social sciences, careers, English and science. All provincial curriculum documents include a statement about the importance of using learning resources that are inclusive of and sensitive to diverse cultures, including Aboriginal people. These lessons will assist educators with achieving this goal. - Indigenous Knowledge & Wisdom Centre (IKWC) (External Link)
