The Information and Privacy Commissioner of Ontario (IPC) provides an active outreach program to help increase the awareness and understanding of two very important public values: open government and protection of privacy. As part of this outreach program, the IPC has developed A Resource Guide for Grade 11/12 Teachers. The guide provides an opportunity for students and teachers to discuss why access to government-held information and protection of privacy are important public values, and how they are relevant to their lives. The activities are designed to generate questions and stimulate group discussion of open government and protection of privacy. Courses and units: Media Studies, Grade 11, Open; Canadian Politics and Citizenship, Grade 11, Open; Understanding Canadian Law, Grade 11, University/College Preparation; and Canadian and International Law, Grade 12, University Preparation. The four units may be completed one at a time or in combination, and are consistent with the course profiles outlined and funded by the Ontario Ministry of Education. There is a Fishbone overview of each unit. Teachers are encouraged to examine the overview and then use, modify or adapt the units and their activities to suit their students' needs.
