Join Library of Congress education specialists for a webinar on analyzing multiple perspectives. In this interactive session, we’ll practice identifying perspectives within primary sources, as well as reflecting on additional perspectives from which these sources may be viewed. Participants will also consider how these strategies may be used with their own students.

Educators participating in the live webinar may request a certificate for one hour of professional development.
