Educational Resources for Teachers

Welcome to the Teacher Resource section of our website. The Prince of Wales Northern Heritage Centre (PWNHC) offers a variety of educational resources for teachers. In addition to a listing of online and hands-on teacher resources, we have also created a curriculum section, which connects NWT curricula with the resources of the PWNHC, a detailed document on Project-Based Learning specific to the NWT, and a section on Heritage Fairs, which will assist teachers in getting involved in local, regional and territorial heritage fairs.
