Tina Storer, Education and Curriculum Specialist at Western Washington University\u2019s Center for Canadian-American Studies, represented the Pacific Northwest National Resource Center (NRC) on Canada by joining with Northeast NRC on Canada representatives Betsy Arntzen (U Maine) and Amy Sotherden (SUNY Plattsburgh) as hosts of a display booth in \u201cInternational Alley\u201d of the exhibit hall. The booth served as a focal point for the NRCs to renew connections and make new contacts nationally in order to encourage inclusion of Canada in American curricula across the United States. Approximately 500 educators stopped by to discuss ways to Canada could be incorporated in US history classrooms and 300 left with resource folders filled with K-12 STUDY CANADA resources, handouts about the annual STUDY CANADA Summer Institute<\/i> as well as other Canadian Studies outreach programs and materials. More than a hundred others also signed-up to receive regular e-newsletters from Tina with resource recommendations and curriculum ideas for teaching about Canada.<\/p>\n

An elected member of the Council of State Social Studies Supervisors (CS4), Tina Storer also attended their meetings (held in conjunction with the conference) to retain a Canadian Studies advocacy profile among social studies leaders across the country. In addition, as past co-chair of the 2012 Annual NCSS Conference in Seattle, she was invited to be part of the 2015 NCSS Conference Planning Committee and attended special meetings that will help pave the way, yet again, for strong Canadian content at next year\u2019s conference in New Orleans, LA.<\/p>\n

The NRCs on Canada also performed significant outreach at the conference by serving as board members of the NCSS Canada Community which was afforded several special conference opportunities, including: (1) promotion of NRC summer institutes to the 50 people, representing 13 states, who attended the Western State Councils for the Social Studies Breakfast; (2) a \u201cCanada Community Showcase Table\u201d that provided additional display time featuring Paul Bennett\u2019s books about teaching history in Canada and the NRC and NCSS-endorsed \u20181812: Who Won the War?\u2019 iBook; (3) a \u201cCanada Community Scholar Session\u201d (presented this year by Dr. Paul Bennett, Adjunct Professor of Education at Saint Mary\u2019s University, Halifax, NS – \u201cTeaching High School History: The Revival of an Endangered Subject); and (4) a \u201cCanada Community Featured Session\u201d (presented this year by Ruth Writer, Western Michigan University \u2013 \u201c100 Years of North Atlantic Neighbor Helping Neighbor\u201d).<\/p>\n

Four other sessions related to Canada were also offered. Tina Storer served as chair and presenter for an NCSS session about the Library of Congress grant awarded to her last year from the Teaching with Primary Sources Western Division that funded the model 2-1\/2 day \u201cArchives on the Arctic\u201d workshop that featured presentations by Nadine Fabbi, Associate Director of the UW Canadian Studies Center. Amy Sotherden offered a presentation titled \u201c\u201cCanada and the American Curriculum: A Comparative State by State Analysis of K-12 Canadian Content Requirements\u201d to the International Assembly, an NCSS associated group of university faculty members with interest in international education. \u201cSing a Song of Canada\u201d was offered by a Canadian-born local teacher, Kim Soleski-Ward, who modeled how music in her elementary classroom brings geography to life (and whose materials have been included in the K-12 STUDY CANADA Resource Valise<\/i> loan-kits for several years). The final session, offered by Mike Clare, University of Ontario Institute of Technology, featured an iBook currently in development with support from both NRCs called \u201c1776: Should I Stay or Should I Go?\u201d<\/p>\n

Although two pre-conference clinics were planned for the conference (one to be held at the offices of the Qu\u00e9bec. Delegation in Boston and the other at the Consulate General of Canada in Boston), both were canceled due to circumstances out of the NRCs\u2019 control. All who had signed up to participate were contacted and provided with materials including \u201cA Resource Tour of Canada\u201d (downloadable from www.k12studycanada.org) which had been developed for the clinics by Tina Storer.<\/p>\n

It is clear, nonetheless, that there are not only many outreach impacts that result from NRC on Canada participation at the NCSS conference but also that efforts have extended far beyond the meetings to build a strong nationwide network of educators interested in teaching Canada. The NRCs on Canada look forward to next year\u2019s conference and many more to come!<\/p>\n
