These resources are listed in the print and CD-ROM versions of the Catalogue of Learning Resources. All learning resources used in schools must either have Recommended or Authorized designation or be approved through district evaluation and approval policies. Resources are organized by curriculum organizer followed by grade. More detailed descriptions of each resource are available in annotation sets regularly distributed by the Ministry of Education. These annotation sets are detailed descriptions of learning resources, including grade levels, lists of components, teaching comments, cautions, ordering information, and other details.
Resources often have application to more than one curricular or topic area.
Obvious connections are identified in annotations, but teachers will make many more connections as they work with materials in the spirit of integration. The index in each annotation document will help teachers organize resources by topic and cateogory. Users at the local level may select provincially Recommended or Authorized resources, or they may choose resources that are not on the Ministry's list. There is also an option to develop materials at the local level to support provincial or locally developed curricula. Currently, Authorized or Recommended materials are listed in the Catalogue of Learning Resources , published periodically by the Ministry.
