British Columbia’s Heritage Daily life in a Nuu-chah-nulth house, as drawn by John Webber. You have just opened an educational resource of lesson plans that have British Columbia's history as their content and critical thinking as their methodology.

This resource is the product of workshops conducted by the "TFU" (Teaching for Understanding) British Columbia Network, which resulted in lesson plans developed by groups of teachers and curators. Curators provided primary source material and historical content and teachers provided the appropriate educational framework and lesson focus. The TFU model of critical thinking was used to phrase the lesson as an open-ended question to stimulate students to discover their own thoughts and answers about complex historical issues which are still evolving or continue to happen here in BC.

We hope these lesson plans provide you with useful content and exciting ideas to take to your students. HeritageBC Stops.

Education and training programshelp build community capacity to effectively plan for and implement theconservation of our heritage.

British Columbians, especially teachers and students, need resources that reinforce the importanceof heritage conservation in overall community planning and how the HPI provides communities with the necessary tools to achieve this. By working with educators, we have produced classroom resources that introduce Social Studies students to heritage conservation and the HPI. Through these resources, secondary school students are discovering the concepts of heritage conservation andheritage planning and how these canbe applied to their own communities. Home.
