Borealia as a Teaching Resource

It is always gratifying to learn that secondary, college, or university teachers are using Borealia in their classrooms. Over the years, we have had educators tell us they have included essays in their syllabi, have found them useful to get up to speed on new research, or even as a model for student assignments.

Thanks to the financial support of the Canadian Historical Association Communication Project Fund and the good work of co-editor Laura Smith, there is now a simple way to discover Borealia posts that may connect to your teaching themes.

At our Topics and Themes for Teaching page, you will find a list of common teaching themes in Canadian history linked to essays tagged with those same themes.

To be sure, not every important theme is represented in this list – something that we hope to address in the next chapter – but we are grateful for the variety of scholarship that is found here.

Educators will want to give special attention to our occasional Teach My Research posts, which include classroom ideas and primary sources.

In the years ahead, we intend to foster new connections between educators and researchers, but in the meantime, we hope this list will help make some of our posts more accessible to teachers and students.
