The Grade 10 Christ and Culture course invites and challenges the adolescent to personalize the Gospel values and social justice principles that guide Catholics in understanding their role in shaping culture as disciples of Jesus. The Ontario Catholic Secondary Curriculum Policy Document outlines that all courses in Religious Education are characterized by the following five big ideas: religious knowledge and literacy, Catholic Christian anthropology, theological reflection, living moral lives, and celebrating in the faith community. The role of an educator is to embed research and inquiry skills throughout, while providing culturally responsive pedagogy to instill equity to nurture thinking in a supportive and meaningful way.
This document contains Ontario Catholic School Graduate Expectations and specific expectations from the Religious Education Curriculum; however, this resource has been created by educators for educators to assist with students for whom reading and language pose significant difficulties. The goal is to serve diverse learners in a language heavy curriculum.
