TPS Goals
The Library’s goals for the TPS Consortium are:

- Consortium members deliver TPS programming, materials, and tools that effectively meet the educational needs of diverse learner communities
- Consortium members are good stewards of government funds and resources
Further, TPS Consortium members:
- Identify the learning needs of populations of learners for which Library of Congress online resources can provide critical information, skills, and perspectives
- Devise methodology and strategies for teaching a variety of subjects
- Create and deliver TPS programming, materials, and tools based on Library of Congress online resources
- Reflect on the success of their TPS activities through formal and informal data gathering
- Modify TPS programming, materials, and tools when necessary, based on feedback
- Disseminate curricula, instructional materials, and tools developed under the grant through existing networks of subsidiary and partner organizations
- Meet regularly with other Consortium members to share information and develop strategies for teaching with Library of Congress online resources
