• Earn 3 university quarter credits (C/AM 410 - WWU) or 40 clock hours as you learn about Canada, its capital, and the distinct cultures that have formed the second largest nation in the world — all within comfortable and unique classroom settings and sessions offered by university faculty, government officials, and tribal leaders.
• Banish stereotypes and meet real Canadians while exploring Ottawa and Montréal, two of Canada's most historically important cities.
• History comes alive through visits to Parliament, the Library of Parliament, Rideau Hall, the Museum of Civilization, the US Embassy, a trolley tour of Ottawa, a walking tour of Old Montréal, and other site visits.
• Develop a lesson plan on Canada that meets NCSS/state standards, gain tools to create a PowerPoint presentation on Canada suitable for your students/colleagues and perhaps even become a K-12 STUDY CANADA Teacher Associate with NRC support in offering presentations about Canada in your region.
• Receive useful resources daily that help bring Canada to your classroom.
