Through Canadian Historical Assessments of Thinking (CHATs), To The Past aims to assist teachers and learners in moving towards a deeper and more robust historical inquiry. CHATs allow students to practice sourcing, contextualizing, closely analyzing and corroborating evidence on a regular basis, developing a familiarity and sophistication when working with primary sources.
