Each year the Library of Congress provides opportunities for teachers to work with the staff and facilities of the Library to discover primary sources on specific topics, and to explore ways to effectively integrate those sources into classroom teaching.
Participants in the Library’s Teacher Institutes:
- Discover Library of Congress primary source materials
- Develop strategies for using primary source digital content in teaching
- Engage in inquiry learning in hands-on workshops
- Learn from Library of Congress subject matter experts and education specialists
- Network with other teachers from across the country to share ideas and experiences
- Leave with a plan for creating a primary source-based lesson or activity to be used with their students.
At present the application process for the Summer Teacher Institutes is closed.
We will send the announcement out to those on our email update and RSS feed lists in early January.
