Le programme d'études sociales de l'Alberta de 6e année est axé sur la citoyenneté, l'identité et les processus démocratiques de prise de décision au sein de notre société.

Le sujet de l'administration locale est un lieu naturel pour les élèves d'enquêter sur la façon dont les problèmes, les défis et les décisions sont traités dans les communautés.

Description

The Alberta Grade 6 Social Studies program of studies focuses on citizenship, identity and democratic processes of decision-making within our society. Students explore ways to participate in democratic processes, be involved in their communities and develop beliefs, values and attitudes that empower them to effect change. The topic of local government is a natural place for students to investigate how issues, challenges and decisions are dealt with in communities. The Building Communities Through Local Government resources provide opportunities for students to explore local government in the context of their own and other communities. The resources support General Outcome 6.1 of the Alberta Social Studies program of studies. They are based on a fundamental assumption that students should be involved in decision-making and encouraged to consider ways that they can be active, participatory and engaged citizens.
