Welcome
Welcome to K-12 STUDY CANADA! We provide K-12 teachers and students with a wealth of resources for teaching and learning about Canada.
K-12 STUDY CANADA is managed by the Center for Canadian-American Studies, Western Washington University and the Canadian Studies Center, Henry M. Jackson School of International Studies, University of Washington. The two centers form a US Department of Education-designated National Resource Center (NRC) for Canada in the US. The name K-12 STUDY CANADA identifies our joint outreach programming, NRC-developed resources for teaching about Canada, and professional development opportunities such as the annual K-12 STUDY CANADA Summer Institute and annual Québec Workshop for French Educators.
Please explore the tabs above to access information about our workshops, teacher loan-kits, monthly resource notices, bi-annual publication, teacher associate program and regional awards for student projects that involve Canada in the National History Day competition. Of special interest are the teaching modules, teacher-developed lesson plans, and categorized hyperlinks to websites appropriate for student fun, learning and research about Canada.

Feedback
"WOW! I am really impressed with the work you've been doing to help teachers in the US teach about Canada. These informative web pages and links are just incredible! As the current president of the National Council for Geographic Education, I will definitely plan to tell our board and members in general about these materials when we meet."
S. Hardwick (President, NCGE - Portland, OR)
