In order to provide educators with supplemental information to educational journeys provided on this site, Northern Journeys content staff have created resource packages specific to those journeys. Teacher Resource Kits, provided in both electronic and printable form (through download), are intended to provide additional information for teachers' lesson plans. Furthermore, the kits shall provide suggestions for further research, and illustrate the mechanics of the journeys themselves for the educators' benefit.

Northern Journeys is an online curriculum incorporating the interpretation of museum objects into classroom activities that support Alaska Content Standards. Students, teachers, and families can access and interact with objects from the Archaeology, Ethnology, and Fine Arts Collections at the University of Alaska Museum. Northern Journeys encourages learning about Alaska through the disciplines of art, culture, history, and science. This multiple perspective enables users to learn more about historic values and traditions as they develop their sense of place or belonging within the community.

The first journey, Dogs in Alaska, is an invitation to learn about dogs and art in the UA Museum. Users will explore some of the different ways dogs work with people in Alaska. Dogs in Alaska is available through http://www.uaf.edu/museum/journeys/, or by clicking here.

This kit is available in two printable forms. The first requires Microsoft Word, the second, Adobe Acrobat Reader 4.0 (this free plug-in is available from www.acrobat.com). Please choose your preferred version by clicking below, or continue exploring the kit online by selecting an option to the right.
