BAY CITY, MI — Craig Wesolowski, a teacher at All Saints Central Middle and High School, was selected from more than 500 applicants to participate in the Library of Congress Teaching with Primary Sources Summer Teacher Institute for the week of July 29-Aug. 2.
Educators attending the teacher institutes develop primary-source-based teaching strategies that they can take back to their school districts, apply in the classroom and pass along to colleagues. Educators can access classroom materials, teaching tools and strategies for teaching with primary sources from the Library's site for teachers at www.loc.gov/teachers.
Each year, the Library of Congress provides the opportunity for K-12 educators to attend one of five teacher institutes in Washington, D.C. During the five-day program, participants work with Library education specialists and subject-matter experts to learn effective practices for using primary sources in the classroom. Participants also explore some of the millions of digitized historical artifacts and documents available on the Library's website.
