Hello to all,

I know I'm replying to a very old email, but I wanted to follow up on Jenny's original post, as I signed up and just recently completed this course of study involving teaching with primary sources from the LOC through Waynesburg University. I want to let everyone know that this was one of the best PD experiences I have had in recent years! The course is free and consists of 6 weekly zoom meetings with a cohort of attendees from various backgrounds (we had appx. 25 people in my class consisting of teachers, librarians, non-profit workers, historians and others). Each week we explored one or more resources from the LOC collection and utilized a specific teaching strategy to explore. The goal of the course is to curate an album of material from the LOC collection that you or one of your teachers could utilize for their classes. I created an album focused on the history of the U.S. National Parks for my grade 3-4-5 teachers to use. Each week we also had a selection of readings/videos to watch that focused on searching the LOC collection and various teaching materials.

I'm sending this review out to everyone in hopes that some of you may explore this course as well. They run this class three times a year, and the next session will be held over the summer...a great way to get some exciting new skills. It is something to put on your radar for sure. It was so nice to have PD that was relevant to what I do! :)
