Homelessness – A Teacher’s Guide This Teacher’s Guide was written in 2007 by Ethos Strategy Group on behalf of the Greater Vancouver Regional Steering Committee on Homelessness. The Guide was updated in 2008 with new Information about the number of people who are homeless in the Metro Vancouver area. The materials and activities in this guide are the product of a collaborative effort by representatives from the Greater Vancouver Regional Steering Committee on Homelessness, Ethos Strategy Group, the British Columbia Federation of Teachers, the Social Planning and Research Council of BC, and the Vancouver Art Gallery. The information and materials in this guide are designed for senior elementary students – Grades 6 and 7 – but elements can be adapted for both younger and older students.

Homeless Awareness Calgary Committee Educational Tools The Homeless Awareness Calgary Committee has prepared a series of tools for use in educating students and the general public about homelessness.  Although the tools apply specifically to Calgary and the province of Alberta, they provide many useful approaches to interactive learning about homelessness. These tools were presented during the February 2009 National Homelessness Conference in Calgary. Any use of these tools should credit the Homelessness Awareness Calgary Committee.
