The Ontario Association of Children Aid Societies created numerous resources for elementary and secondary school teachers related to empowering students to think and act in positive ways. The resources were developed with evidence-based approaches that are appropriate for age and stage of learning and development. The goal of the materials is to help all children and youth, regardless of the situation they are in, to acquire skills and attributes that lessen their vulnerability to harm.
