Our approach to civic education is about providing opportunities for students to experience their democracy first-hand rather than by reading about it in a textbook. By reaching students throughout their school career, during and between election periods, we hope to prepare them to be responsible and informed citizens.

CIVIX programming focuses on the themes of elections, government budgets, elected representatives and digital media literacy. Programs available include:

(1) Student Vote - an election enables teachers to bring democracy alive in the classroom

(2) Student Budget Consultation - combines civic education and financial literacy

(3) Rep Day - connects students with their elected representatives for a virtual or in-person meeting

(4) CTRL-F - a module providing quick strategies students can use to investigate and evaluate information

(5) PoliTalks - supports educators in bringing political discussions to the classroom - Materials are free with
registration, and programming is designed for grades 5-12

(6) Democracy Bootcamp - professional development conference for teachers designed to improve their
democratic engagement and delivery of CIVIX programming

Lessons are sequentially designed to build vocabulary, explain democracy, examine municipal, provincial/territorial and federal governments, and explore different levels of government in relation to health.

This unit plan overview provides links to all lessons along with links to accompanying teacher support materials that include: Student worksheets and answer guides for individual lessons and inquiry activities with support materials

This resource contains an abundance of ELA infused, cross-curricular lessons organized by themes for Grades 4, 5 and 6. Non-fiction, poetry and fiction reading lessons are all included. 

This activity is designed for a social studies, politics, civics or citizenship class. It can be used in secondary and elementary classrooms. Here is an overview of the simulation:

Students take part in a quick open-voting process to understand why a secret ballot is important.
Then they take on the roles of political party members or election officers. They run an election on a community or school issue they care about.
Students vote for a candidate, ballots are counted and a winner is announced.
Finally, students reflect on what they learned about their role in the simulation and what makes elections fair.
This simulation is based on the procedures used for Canadian federal elections. The tools and information in the kit are as authentic as possible while still being classroom-friendly.

This grade 4 government unit covers all the outcomes in power and authority. It was co- created by STF, FSIN, school board association, and Amber Thompson. This unit raises awareness in local government organizations in Saskatchewan.

"The introduction of Saskatchewan's new Law 30 curriculum means that teachers are reworking their Law 30 programs. As Saskatchewan's source for free legal information, PLEA is making it easier to accomplish this task.

PLEA will continually be constructing this portal that links Law 30 curricular outcomes and indicators to available PLEA resources, across all of our programming.

Click any Outcome listed on the menu to the left (desktop) or the Browse Resource menu on the top (mobile) to find what resources we have available for those outcomes. Because some resources will fulfill more than one indicator, to help you along we list (in parentheses) any other Law 30 indicators linked to that resource.

As we introduce new resources, we will link them on this guide. Check back often!"
