  • Enhancing the Use of Regional Literature in Atlantic Canadian Schools

    Enhancing the Use of Regional Literature in Atlantic Canadian Schools

    Partnership: the Canadian Journal of Library and Information Practice and Research, vol. 7, no. 1 (2012) The Sea Stacks Project: Enhancing the Use of Regional Literature in Atlantic Canadian Schools Vivian Howard Associate Professor/Associate Dean (Academic) School of Information Management Dalhousie University [email protected] Abstract Research over the past two decades has amply demonstrated the importance of literature to the formation of both regional and national cultural identity, particularly in the face of mass market globalization of children's book publishing in the 21st century as well as the predominance of non-Canadian content from television, movies, books, magazines and internet media. However, Canadian children appear to have only very limited exposure to Canadian authors and illustrators. In Atlantic Canada, regional Atlantic Canadian authors and illustrators for children receive very limited critical attention, and resources for the study and teaching of Atlantic Canadian children's literature are few. Print and digital information sources on regional children's books, publishing, authors and illustrators are scattered and inconsistent in quality and currency. This research project directly addresses these key concerns by summarizing the findings of a survey of Atlantic Canadian teachers on their use of regional books. In response to survey findings, the paper concludes by describing the creation of the Sea Stacks Project: an authoritative, web-delivered information resource devoted to contemporary Atlantic Canadian literature for children and teens. Keywords library and information studies; services and resources for youth; children's literature The significance of Canadian children's literature for developing cultural awareness is documented by a growing body of research literature (Egoff and Saltman, 1999; Diakiw, 1997; Pantaleo, 2000; Baird, 2002; Reimer, 2008).

The journey is the author's search for authentic curriculum -- teaching and learning built around socially relevant themes, designed through an organic development process, and negotiated in relation to the interests of individual learners and the communities that support them. In struggling to find a "lens" that would allow children to navigate change in an increasingly complicated society, the author shifted her focus from the substantive domain to the perceptual.
  • “No Text Is Innocent”: Canadian Children's Books in the Classroom

    “No Text Is Innocent”: Canadian Children's Books in the Classroom

    JOURNAL OF TEACHING AND LEARNING, 2005, VOL. 3, NO. 2 “No text is innocent”: Canadian children’s books in the classroom Joyce Bainbridge, Dianne Oberg and Mike Carbonaro University of Alberta Abstract This case study of one school district explored elementary teachers’ use of, and beliefs about, Canadian children’s books in the classroom. It also examined the supports that facilitate elementary teachers’ use of Canadian books, including services provided by teacher-librarians, school district personnel and others; availability of funding; and opportunities for professional development. The case study district had a teacher-librarian in every school and was committed to supporting the work of teachers through the school library. The participants had clear ideas about what it meant to them to be Canadian and about the values that were important to them as Canadians. They believed it was important to incorporate Canadian books into classroom activities. However, they often felt a need to justify their use of Canadian books, whereas they unquestioningly used American books in their teaching across the curriculum. Overall, they were more knowledgeable about Canadian books and Canadian authors and illustrators than teachers in earlier studies. However, the findings of the study raise an interesting paradox; the teachers supported the use of Canadian books but they did not appear to connect “Canadian values” to Canadian books. They seemed unaware that all books, Canadian or not, convey an ideology; “no text is innocent” (Stephens & Watson, 1994, p. 14). “No text is innocent”: Canadian children’s books in the classroom Books for children, as Nodelman (1999) writes, are often dismissed simply as texts for the nursery or the elementary classroom.
