Free LC Online Conference for Teachers: Awareness and Strategies

[Main Reading Room. View from above showing researcher desks. Library of Congress Thomas Jefferson Building, Washington, D.C.]

We’ve already announced the Library’s first online conference for teachers, “The Library of Congress and Teachers: Unlocking the Power of Primary Sources,” and here’s what we’re looking forward to!

There will be 15 one-hour sessions, October 27-28 from 4-8 ET, on topics from literacy and historical thinking to historic newspapers and the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

This conference will be a unique opportunity to interact with Library of Congress subject specialists, instructional experts from the Library’s Teaching with Primary Sources Consortium, and other recognized K-12 leaders. We’ve developed sessions along two broad strands: “Resource Spotlight” and “Instructional Strategies”

Library experts will include specialists from the World Digital Library, Chronicling America, the Prints and Photographs division, the Veterans History Project, and more.
Consortium partners will facilitate a session on literacy, and another on young learners and images.
Other presenters will include Dr. Sam Wineburg and Dr. Joel Breakstone from Stanford University; Dr. Barbara Stripling from Syracuse University; Dr. Dan Rothstein of the Right Question Institute; and more.

Each session will be recorded and certificates will also be available for a limited time to those who view the recordings.

You can find the entire online conference schedule and registration information here.

  Kelly, they’re not yet available — takes a while to get everything in place. Look for them next week, from loc.gov/teachers. I’m sorry to hear that you couldn’t attend, but I hope you find value in the recordings!
