Teachers understand that there are many layers of content, outcomes, skills, and experiences that our students require throughout their educational journey to become competent 21st century learners. Teachers have must dos, such as curricular outcomes and assessment, but there are also many additional elements to provide enrichment to learning for students. All of these layers can become overwhelming if only considered from the perspective of teaching these elements in silos. GAP or Grade Alike Planning in Sun West has offered opportunities to teachers to reimagine these elements by infusing them together. The GAP Infusion Poster illustrates a visual of this philosophy where many elements are blended thoughtfully together to meet many learning outcomes, provide many opportunities, and give students' voice and choice in their learning by exploring their interests and learning needs.

Socially-based Curriculum Unit
This unit, developed for ENG3E (English, Grade 11, Workplace Preparation - Ontario), uses W.P. Kinsella’s short story anthology Dance Me Outside for a study of the past and present treatment of Natives in Canada, but also for an understanding of the behaviour of non-Natives.
The big ideas that students will understand include: tolerance, awareness, and acceptance of Native culture. The key knowledge concepts include: - learning about different types of values and value systems as they apply to individuals and different cultures; - learning more about the definitions of stereotypes, discrimination and racism as they apply to the stories studied; - learning about standard and non-standard language usage and their place in different societies; - differentiating between connotation and denotation.
Skills that the students will learn as a result of this unit include reading for meaning and analysis, and critical thinking skills.
The unit culminates in a comparison of the book with its film adaptation.
