2. The best practice is simply to teach Canada
As seen in the video “Tom Brokaw explains Canada to Americans”, it is
important for American students to know more about our northern neighbor and
its relationship to our own nation:
Teaching Canada meets international education goals that consider North America first, encourage
American students to be prepared as 21st
century citizens who are good neighbors, good economic
partners, good allies, and more.
Teaching Canada has students explore our international relationship beyond mutually-beneficial
economic interests to include the stewardship of N. America and the world.
Teaching Canada advances student knowledge, provides comparative context for history and politics,
and encourages global thinking.
Canada is perhaps the best comparative lens regarding all core social studies topics.
It’s important that American 8th
Graders recognize that Canada is not a dictatorship.
3. Canada and the American Curriculum
As per the article “The Country Left Behind”, Canada sometimes falls
in a curriculum “gap” that many educators aren’t aware of.
KEY

4. Resources for Teaching Canada
Key Question: Why aren’t more resources for teaching Canada available?
Canada only appears intermittently in social studies standards and, sometimes,
is not addressed at all in K-12 classrooms.*
Standards (esp. California, Texas and New York) 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.
National education organizations such as NCSS, NCHE, and NCGE support
increased inclusion of Canada in curricula.

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

6. The US DOE Title VI Program – Area Studies
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.

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.
