2. The Best Practice is to Teach Canada
1. It is important to teach Canada
Shared geography and borders
Strong historical connections
Shared cultural roots and multicultural population
Stewardship of N. America (environment / energy / defense)
Canada and the USA represent the world’s largest trade relationship
Multi-layered political relationship and impacts
Global competency and citizenship
Best comparative lens regarding all core social studies topics
2. Canada sometimes falls in an curriculum “gap” that educators
aren’t aware of.
3. The Best Practice is to Teach Canada
Key Question: So why aren’t there more resources for teaching Canada?
Canada only appears intermittently in social studies standards and, sometimes, is not
addressed at all in K-12 classrooms.*
Standards (esp. California and Texas) drive the textbook industry and,
without standards that specifically mention Canada, Canada is often
minimized and/or left out of textbooks even in key areas like economics.
NCSS continues to support increased inclusion of Canada in curricula.

Emeritus, University of Vermont, on homepage of www.k12studycanada.org.

5. The US DOE Title VI Program
The launching of Sputnik I in 1957 led to the federal government’s most significant
participation in modern foreign language and area studies research and training in
history—The National Defense Education Act (NDEA) of 1958.
The federal Office of Education began administering the National Resource
Centers (NRC) Program under Title VI of the NDEA, and the U.S.D.O.E. continues
to administer it under the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended.
The centers supported under the NRC Program conduct a broad range of activities
that include instruction, outreach, scholarly research, maintenance of library
resources, and teacher training. Collectively, these activities represent a
programmatic effort that focuses on particular regions of the world and the relevant
issues connected to those regions; and, they constitute a national capacity in
modern foreign languages and area and international studies.

also supported development of an interactive digital iBook suitable for
Grade 7-12 classrooms called 1812: Who Won the War? It’s the
first in a series to be produced by Epoch Multimedia Inc.
• The WWU Center for Canadian-American Studies, in partnership with
faculty from Utoronto and UMoncton, has applied for an “Our Shared
Past” grant to produce a suite of Grade 7-12 curricula and resources
for teaching about The Acadian Experience in North America
in classrooms on both sides of the border.

Canadian Embassy (Washington, DC) produces publications: Local consulates can provide information as well. Discover where the consulate for your area is. Perhaps have the Consul or Consul General visit your class to discuss current issues in Canada-US relations. There are __ consulates in the US.
OISE (Ontario Institute for Secondary Education, University of Toronto) is probably the premier teacher-training and research institute in Canada for primary and secondary levels of education. US teachers can access much information regarding Canadian schools through the website it maintains. If interested in finding partner schools, for example, for pen pals, etc., this is the site to go to. You can determine the location and grade level of school that you would prefer to partner with and be given contact information for the school and possibly even tour the school, etc., through the school’s own website.
