The Critical Issues Series was conceptualized and developed for Alberta Canola. This series of teaching and learning resources are developed around a critical issues approach and promote inquiry-based learning and critical thinking. The exploration of contemporary issues is framed around inquiry questions that are relevant and meaningful to students, engage them in deliberative research and promote social participation skills. These resources support Social Studies, Science and Health and Life Skills curriculum for junior and senior high classrooms.
