Professional Development Opportunities at Illinois State University
The Library of Congress Teaching with Primary Sources program is currently offering an on-line Level 1 - Foundations Program. This workshop course, Teaching with Primary Sources, is designed for classroom teachers, teaching librarians, and media specialists. Through this course, participants will build the knowledge and skills needed to access and utilize digital primary resources from the Library of Congress. Participants will produce a standards-based learning experience integrating primary sources from the Library of Congress. The workshop can be taken for 25 CPDUs or 2 ISU graduate credits.
The workshop course requires two face-to-face meetings on campus, as well as work to be completed online. The introductory session will be held on Thursday, January 24, from 4:30 to 7:30 p.m. and the final session on Thursday, May 1, from 4:30 to 7:30 p.m. Both sessions will be held in room 164d at Milner Library on the campus of Illinois State University.
