The Teaching with Primary Sources (TPS) program equips teachers with methods and tools from the Library's digitized collection of primary sources to address this critical need.
Participating educators engage in model learning activities and collaborate with colleagues in pairs and small groups. The institute builds teaching skills necessary for leading students in the development of literacy skills across the curriculum.
If you have questions about the workshop or would like to learn more, contact Sue Wise at 724-852-3377 or firstname.lastname@example.org.
