Old Sources, New Technologies  \nDiscovering Your Place in History.  \nCarol White  \nRetired teacher from Kingston  \nReturn to Articles  \nAbstract  \nThe Historica Foundation of Canada has a mandate to provide or support  \nprograms and resources for the teaching of Canadian history in Canadian  \nschools. This paper outlines how Historica discovered what was needed and  \nthe programs and resources they developed to fulfill their mandate.  \nThe Historica Foundation of Canada is a charitable foundation whose mandate is to provide or support programs and resources that inspire Canadians to explore their history. Historica is committed to working in all provinces and territories, in both French and English, and with organizations and individuals of all origins. Its educational programs are developed to help teachers meet the challenges of teaching history in a constantly changing world.  \nThe Historica Foundation is a charitable organization dedicated to helping Canadians discover the fascinating stories that make  \nour country unique. Through our education programs and  \nauthoritative resources we connect Canadians to our many  \nhistories. We invite you to discover your place in history at  \n[www.histori.ca](www.histori.ca). (Historica, 2006).  \nLooking to improve the quality of its resources, Historica commissioned two separate investigations ofthe teaching of Canadian history in Canadian schools in 2002/2003 . One was by Patricia Shields and Doug Ramsey (Shields, 2002) and dealt with English language schools, and the other was by Jean Pierre Charland and Sabrina Moisan (Charland, 2003) and dealt with French language schools. Their research examined the treatment of Canadian history in the curricula of the provinces and territories and the resources in use at the time. Both investigative teams interviewed teachers to determine their viewpoints on the state of Canadian history in their province or territory. In January of 2004, Ken Osborne, Professor Emeritus of Education University of Manitoba, summarized the findings of both groups for Historica. In his words, the report's intent was \"simply to map the terrain of history education, not to prescribe any particular journey or destination (Osborne 2004, p. 3)  \nTo determine the journey it needed to follow to provide teachers with what they needed Historica, in June of 2004 conducted an extensive on line survey of teachers across the country to find out what type of resources teachers felt were needed to fill the gaps of resources currently out there. This research was followed up by interviewing teachers participating in the Historica Summer Institute in July of 2004 . Then, in September of this same year, researcher MaryRose O'Neill, studied the earlier findings and survey and interview results and prepared a final report on the gaps in resources available to deliver history and social studies curricula in Canada. The Historica Foundation, has undertaken to fill the gaps suggested in this final report by concentrating its efforts in three main areas:  \nschool programs, learning resources and professional development.  \nHistorica has two school major programs the Historica Fairs program and YouthLinks. The first program, the National Fairs Program for grades four to nine, begins in the classroom with the preparation of research based projects and culminates with a public exhibition for the\"sharing of the stories' discovered by the students. The Fairs program supports existing curricula in all provinces and territories and Historica is constantly enhancing its delivery and broadening its catchment area. Even isolated communities can participate by publishing their projects using the five easy steps provided on the online showcase hosted on the Historica site.  \nMaking the Historica Fairs program an integral part of the social studies, hist","cbCaiufAMHfQl3KZ","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiufAMHfQl3KZ","pdf",232664,"English","# Abstract\n## Mandate and investigations\n## Programs and resource development\n## Historica Fairs program","[{\"question\":\"What mandate guides the Historica Foundation of Canada in history education?\",\"answer\":\"The foundation’s mandate is to provide or support programs and resources that inspire Canadians to explore their history and help teachers meet challenges in teaching history in a changing world.\"},{\"question\":\"How did Historica determine what resources were needed?\",\"answer\":\"Historica commissioned two investigations (2002–2003) for English- and French-language schools, then conducted an extensive online teacher survey in June 2004, followed by interviews with teachers in the summer institute, and prepared a final report on resource gaps.\"},{\"question\":\"Which areas did Historica prioritize to fill the identified resource gaps?\",\"answer\":\"Historica focused its efforts on three main areas: school programs, learning resources, and professional development.\"}]","Canadian Social Studies - Volume 40 - Issue 1 - Special Issue: History Alive!
