Abstract
The purpose of this project is to develop a workbook and teacher's manual that would
help to teach anti-discrimination. The aim of the project is to have this practical tool
used in the teaching of the new, locally developed Toronto District School Board grade
11 course History of Genocide and Crimes against Humanity_(CHG3B). The material can
also be adapted for grade 9 and 10 courses in subjects such as English, Civics or History.
The framework of the model used in developing the workbook uses an overlay of the
five stages of discrimination model, which is a Social Science course taught at the
grade 12 level, and sanctioned by the Ontario Ministry of Education- HSB4M (Challenge
and Change: Introduction to Anthropology, Psychology and Sociology). This model
draws upon current academic research on genocide and peace education. The
workbook was created based on an analysis of the current Ontario Ministry of
Education's secondary curriculum policy on discrimination and course profiles of
current history courses. It is a practical resource with a clear program geared towards
helping young people identify, stop, and reverse the stages of discrimination, and was
developed using cognitive theory in instructional design.
