Once again the STUDY CANADA Summer Institute was a phenomenal experience! The content lectures were extremely informative, the guest presentations were enlightening and the special events were extraordinary. I am inspired to share the experience with colleagues to promote the teaching of Canada throughout the state. You have planned and organized a wonderful institute! Thank you!<\/i> \u2013 JoAnn Trygestad, Minnesota<\/p>\n

Once again, indeed, the 34th Annual STUDY CANADA Summer Institute for K-12 Educators<\/i> was a fantastic success. \u201cSTUDY CANADA,\u201d the Pacific Northwest National Resource Center on Canada\u2019s annual professional development workshop, has been offered by the Center for Canadian-American Studies, Western Washington University, for the last thirty-four years and hosted in Canada since 2006.<\/p>\n

First offered in 1978, 2011 marked the first year that STUDY CANADA was hosted in Ottawa, Ontario, with a daytrip to Montr\u00e9al, Qu\u00e9bec and used the thematic \u201cA Capital View of Canada: Nations within a Nation\u201d reflecting additional program content on Canada\u2019s diverse regions and peoples. Fifteen participants registered for the program in 2012 and learned from distinguished Canadians throughout the week \u2013 a blend of university faculty from University of Ottawa, University of Qu\u00e9bec at Montreal and Western Washington University as well as government officials from a variety of Canadian federal ministries and notable dignitaries such as the U.S. Ambassador to Canada, David Jacobson, the former Premier of Qu\u00e9bec, Bernard Landry, and Member of Parliament for Ottawa-Orleans, Royal Gallipeau.<\/p>\n

Program activities enriched teachers\u2019 knowledge about Canada\u2019s history and culture and served to make their STUDY CANADA experience \u201ca perfect week!\u201d These special activities included walking tours of both Parliament Hill in Ottawa and the \u201cVieux Port\u201d in Montr\u00e9al, private tours at the Supreme Court of Canada, the House of Commons and Senate, the Museum of Civilization as well as a cultural evening with traditional Quebec music at the Sucrerie de la Montagne in Rigaud, Qu\u00e9bec. The capstone to the week of professional development was a group dinner in Ottawa supported by Herff-Jones Nystrom that was followed by a public viewing of the sound and light show \u201cMosaika\u201d on Parliament Hill, where \u201cthe themes from our week together resounded\u201d and served as a \u201ca great ending to a great workshop\u201d according to participant evaluations.<\/p>\n

STUDY CANADA 2012 participants represented twelve states and a range of classroom experience, from elementary to secondary levels of education. Their evaluations unanimously indicated that STUDY CANADA not only provided a strong foundation for teaching about Canada but that the experience had profound personal and educational impacts that will be reflected in classroom curricula for the future.<\/p>\n

Evaluations indicated that regardless of how much or how little attendees knew about Canada, the program taught them far more than was expected and was, as indicated earlier, awarded an impressive 99% grade overall. \u201cI couldn\u2019t have asked for a better week. Every aspect of the program was well planned with a variety of activities and speakers. The amount of resources exceeded my expectations\u2026 an absolutely wonderful experience!\u201d Notably, all attendees intend to include Canada in their curriculum in more ways than originally anticipated and will submit curricula for posting on the www.k12studycanada.org<\/a> website.<\/p>\n

The Center for Canadian-American Studies at Western Washington University gratefully acknowledges program funding from the US Department of Education (Title VI) and the Government of Canada\u2019s Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade. Additional program support is appreciated from the Universit\u00e9 du Qu\u00e9bec \u00e0 Montr\u00e9al and Herff-Jones Nystrom. In addition, support for teacher scholarships from the Canadian Studies Center in the H.M. Jackson School of International Studies at the University of Washington as well as Greg Boos and the Pacific Corridor Enterprise Council (PACE) is appreciated.<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
