The All 4 Each (A4E) Co-ops in Classrooms program works with all levels of the Ontario education system to generate opportunities for students to investigate co-operative enterprises and related career opportunities. OCA has developed projects, materials and curriculum to engage young people in the critical exploration of a variety of sectors – private, non-profit, co-operative, etc. – to help students identify the best fit for their interests and ambitions.
If you are interested in introducing the co-operative business model to your students, we have a lot of resources for you. We have identified areas of the Ontario business curriculum where our resources best fit.
To get started, we have created a video for students that explains the co-operative business model and has an accompanying worksheet.
Once you have provided an introduction to the co-operative business model, there are many more resources available if your students would like to explore the model further.
- Teacher’s Resource Guide
- Plain Language Co-operative Principles
- A Unit to Inspire a Co-operative Conscience (booklet)
- Credit Unions Explained (booklet)
- FactSheets on Co-operatives
If you would like more information or resources please reach out to us! We would love nothing more than to be a part of your class’ co-operative journey.
