On June 24, 2018, fifteen K-12 teachers from around Washington State, as well as Pennsylvania, Maryland, and New Mexico, met at the Center for Canadian-American Studies at Western Washington University in Bellingham to participate in the K-12 STUDY CANADA Summer Institute. K-12 STUDY CANADA is an immersive professional development training that for forty summers has taken educators to Canada to learn new perspectives and ways to teach about our neighbor to the North. This years focus was on the Coast Salish communities on either side of the Canadian-US border and how settler teachers can responsibly teach Indigenous curriculum and content.
