Strategies and resources for K-12 classrooms from the Library of Congress

The TPS Consortium Journal is a peer-reviewed, online publication created by members of the Teaching with Primary Sources (TPS) Consortium. Published biannually, each issue focuses on professional development and pedagogical approaches devised to build teachers’ capacity to use Library of Congress digitized primary sources effectively in K-12 classrooms. Each issue offers primary source-based suggestions, reflections, and findings about a number of topics from some of the most engaged educational thinkers and practitioners in the country.
