Welcome to the Kativik Ilisarniliriniq (KI) Social Studies curriculum for Primary students. This information page includes an overview of the curriculum and important information about the program structure, assessment and materials available.
1. Program Overview
KI Social Studies program is competency-based and adapted from the Quebec Education Program (QEP). The program considers Nunavik’s historical and contemporary reality. KI program ensures that students achieve QEP educational goals and grow in their knowledge of the Nunavik journey towards autonomy in the past, present and future.
2. Assessment
Regular assessment in class supports learning and recognizes competencies. Students tackle project work and practice activities to show their understanding and expertise based on the competencies and evaluation criteria.
To ensure students’ success, certain objectives must be acquired in each grade in order to prepare them for the rest of their school path. Here is an example of the Program Expected learning outcomes in grade 3, followed by examples of evaluation situations a teacher can use :
3. Planning
While the students are presented key knowledge in the Learning and Evaluation Situations (LES) they work on, teachers focus on competency-based activities in class that support learning of transferable skills, including critical thinking. Teachers leverage opportunities to integrate learning from other subjects such as language, math, science and art so that students can make connections and build their expertise and confidence.
The program provides a global planning of the topics to guide the teachers during the school year.
Elder-Centred Approach
As knowledge holders, Elders have a very important role in Inuit culture. Elderly people can support students who are learning in the classroom setting. It is a good idea to address topics with the knowledge and participation of Nunavummiut elders. Creating questions for interviews, and including films that feature elderly people, will have a motivating effect on students. View a range of interviews with some Nunavik elders.
