Abstract:	AMONG THE MANY NEW INITIATIVES OF THE PAST FEW YEARS HAS BEEN THE DEVELOPMENT AND IMPLEMENTATION OF NEW CURRICULA IN CHILDREN’S RIGHTS EDUCATION. AT THE PRIMARY LEVEL, CHILDREN’S RIGHTS EDUCATION IS BEING TAUGHT IN VARIOUS SCHOOLS IN BRITISH COLUMBIA AND IN ALBERTA. AT THE ELEMENTARY AND JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL LEVELS, IT HAS BEEN IMPLEMENTED THROUGHOUT THE CAPE BRETON-VICTORIA REGIONAL SCHOOL DISTRICT AND IS SOON TO BE IMPLEMENTED ACROSS THE PROVINCE OF NOVA SCOTIA. IT IS ANTICIPATED THAT OVER THE NEXT FEW YEARS THERE MAY BE PAN-CANADIAN IMPLEMENTATION OF CHILDREN’S RIGHTS EDUCATION. WHAT ARE CHILDREN’S RIGHTS, WHY IS CHILDREN’S RIGHTS EDUCATION IMPORTANT, AND WHAT ARE THE IMPLICATIONS FOR TEACHER EDUCATION?
