Learning Activities Development
Learning Activities Development (LAD) brings
teams of content experts together to create learning activities
using a template, and incorporating primary sources and other educational
elements to accomplish stated learning outcomes.
Learning Activities Development projects:
- Follow a specified template.
- Are centered around a topic (unit or lesson) using
American Memory primary sources.
- Propose and answer essential questions about the
topic.
- Address specific state learning standards.
A selection of completed Learning Activities Development projects is made available to the educational community through links on the TPS-Colorado Web site. Click the link for a list of completed Learning Activities Development projects.
LAD Details
Teams of 2 to 4 Colorado educators will be invited to submit proposals
for Learning Activities Development. Teams of 3 or 4 must include at least one librarian, media or technology
specialist. A stipend of $400 will be paid to each team member upon
submission of the team's completed project.
Sharing the content developed in the Learning Activities
Development project is a key element of this professional development
opportunity. After a report describing and documenting how the project
was shared with the team¹s peers is submitted to TPS-Colorado,
each team member will receive an additional $200 stipend. Teams
will have one year to complete their dissemination reports.
