Enseigner l'histoire canadienne : des ressources utiles

This episode features Stephanie Gibson, Michele Cumberland, Rodney Squires, Hillary Weppler, and Jennifer Morris — teachers who are all using interdisciplinary approaches to help their students engage critically and creatively with history.

They talk about combining history with technology, philosophy and the arts, and explore what it looks like when students are encouraged to ask rich questions, connect with their own communities, and share their learning.

Interdisciplinary Connections

This episode features Erin Quinn, Heather Howell, and Tara Corneau, three educators who are using partnerships and community-based learning to further their students learning.

They discuss how to build authentic collaborations with local organizations and how working beyond the classroom helps deepen historical understanding.

Building Authentic Collaborations

This episode features Jessica Gonsales, Vanessa Kirtz, Amelia Adamowicz, and Ian Duncan — educators who are helping students uncover, interpret, and share powerful historical narratives.

Their conversation explores how teachers can support responsible storytelling and help their students grapple with the complex and nuanced histories that they are studying.

Supporting Responsible Storytelling

This episode features Cherlyn Forth, Jon McPhail, and Kathryn Laframbroise, whose students are exploring histories in their own communities and regions and using creative ways to share their learning.

They talk about the role of student voice in determining historical significance, the value of place-based learning, and how they continue to find ideas for their classrooms.
