Apply to participate in a Library of Congress Summer Teacher Institute or Library Media Specialist Multi-Day Workshop if you want:
- To learn effective strategies to incorporate primary sources into your teaching;
- To develop an activity plan using primary sources from the Library of Congress;
- An opportunity to interact with teachers from around the country and exchange ideas;
- To explore the Library’s rich collections and work with experts from around the institution; and
- To meet the education specialists who, among other things, create this blog!
