R E S O U R C E S CANADIAN LAW GRADE 12: A Reference for Selecting Learning Resources is a reference tool provided by Manitoba Education and Training to help educators select student and teacher learning resources to support the curriculum.

L E A R N I N G R E S O U R C E S R E V I E W S Publishers submit resources for review to the Learning Resources Unit of Instruction, Curriculum and Assessment Branch in response to the Department’s request for new learning resources to support provincial curricula. Teachers, nominated by superintendents of school divisions, are selected as teacher-evaluators. Using a collaborative review process, the teacher-evaluators examine the materials according to the resource-selection criteria to make recommendations regarding the suitability of the resources for Manitoba students and teachers.

R E S O U R C E S E L E C T I O N C R I T E R I A Learning resources are selected based on the basis of their fidelity with the rationale, philosophy, processes, and learning outcomes identified in each curriculum. Four evaluation criteria are used in selecting learning resources:

Curriculum Fit/Content/Philosophy: the degree to which the content and processes of the resource align with the curriculum, thus providing support for curriculum implementation.

Instructional Design: the degree to which the resource provides for multiple approaches to learning, has a wide range of use, is current, and reflects current pedagogical theory and practice.

Social Considerations: the degree to which the resource is free of bias and stereotyping. The resource is examined for Canadian content, the use of culturally diverse examples, and accurate portrayal of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis peoples. Cautionary notes are added to alert teachers to potentially sensitive curriculum-fit issues or potential community concerns related to the resource.

Technical Design: the degree to which the resource is visually appealing and has a logical and consistent form.

When selecting learning and teaching resources, teachers should consider how the resources meet the learning requirements of students, the perspectives of the student population, and local decisions related to the delivery of potentially sensitive content.


T E R M S A N D D E F I N I T I O N S The following terms and definitions are used to describe the learning resources:

Breadth: identifies learning resources that address a wide range of student learning outcomes for a particular grade.

Depth: identifies learning resources that provide effective learning experiences in greater detail for a narrower grouping of student learning outcomes.

Breadth and Depth: identifies comprehensive learning resources that provide both breadth and depth dimensions for an extensive grouping of student learning outcomes.

Teacher Reference: identifies resources that assist teachers in implementing the curriculum, including background information for teacher use; may identify teaching suggestions and learning activities.

Teacher Guide: identifies a separate guide for teachers or a teacher’s edition of a Student Text.
