The workbook contains several activities to help learners understand how and why the census is conducted. Activities include conducting a student census; determining who should be included on the census form; deciding the listing order for household members; identifying family relationships; and matching census terms with their definitions.

Authors: Cindy Davidson, Literacy Network of Durham Region

In the second chapter, the authors set out six stages of research integration: awareness; information gathering; impact reflection; preparing for change; program implementation; and collaboration and exploration.
They also provide strategies for research integration and include a set of tools and templates to help at all stages of integration.
