Who Should Attend TPS-Colorado Classes?
Professional development classes are available for in-service and pre-service teachers, college faculty, librarians, media specialists and other educational support personnel. The goal of the TPS-Colorado project is to develop a professional development network that reaches out to Colorado educators to support the use of Library of Congress primary source-based instruction in the classroom.
How Can I Participate in TPS-Colorado?
Besides Level 2, there are three other levels of participation.
Level 1 - Primary Source Foundations: introduces the breadth and organization of the Library of Congress’ digital primary sources, demonstrates the value of primary sources in instruction, and provides examples of primary source-based learning experiences.
Level 3 - Teaching with Primary Sources Ambassador - Colorado (TPS-CO Ambassador): builds a network of experienced Colorado educators who advocate the use of primary sources and widely disseminate the ideas, methods, and products of the Teaching with Primary Sources program.
Library of Congress Teaching with Priamry Sources Fellowship: develops a network of national fellows who travel to Washington, D.C. for one week to network and conduct research for their self-designed primary source related projects to be implemented in their home districts. The Library of Congress funds a limited number of LOC TPS fellows each summer. Only TPS-Colorado Ambassadors are eligible to apply and compete for this opportunity.
