2012 Historical Thinking Project

The 2012 Historical Thinking Project is open to applicants from across Canada and internationally, and provides an immersion experience for:

  • History curriculum leaders,
  • History teachers,
  • Educators in history museums and historic sites

The six historical thinking concepts -- which have been integrated into a number of curriculum documents, including the forthcoming, revised Canadian and World Studies documents in Ontario -- will provide the methodological core of the program. The “HTP” approach opens up the interpretive nature of history by making explicit and central such fundamental concepts as:

  • historical perspective taking,
  • historical significance, and
  • continuity and change.

Listen to our podcast interview of Dr. Peter Seixas discussing historiography: how history is taught, what stories are told, by whom, and how. Especially, why history is important to teach. (time stamp 32:30)
Venue

This years program will be held at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education at the University of Toronto.

Program Description

This exciting institute will take you on an exploration of historical thinking, while examining the themes of immigration and aboriginality. As well, we will look at the broader substantive theme of cultural exchange across borders.

Plenary lectures will be presented by Dr. Peter Seixas and distinguished guests. Field trips will enhance the work conducted during the in-class portion of the institute.

We would like to acknowledge the generous support of this program by The History Education Network / Histoire et Éducation en Réseau.

Registration Deadline: Apr 16, 2012
