WAYNESBURG – Waynesburg University’s Teaching with Primary Sources Program will host Teaching with Primary Sources Level 1 Summer Institute from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. June 23-26.

The program is free and past participants are welcome to attend.

Teachers and librarians interested in techniques to address the newly adopted Pennsylvania Core Standards are encouraged to attend. Pennsylvania Core Standards focus on application of content knowledge in the classroom, critical thinking and student literacy.

Teachers and librarians will engage in model learning activities and collaborate with colleagues in pairs and small groups. The TPS Program equips teachers with methods and tools from the Library of Congress’s digitized collection of primary sources to address this critical need.

Summer Institute participants will earn up to 16 PDE Act 48 activity hours. Registration for the four-day workshop is available at https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/Level1-Registration.

TPS is funded through the Library of Congress and is administered through Waynesburg University. It was initiated at Waynesburg University in 2004 as a pilot then officially launched by the Library of Congress in 2006. Waynesburg University TPS is a professional development provider for in-service and pre-service educators. It continues to serve educators throughout southwestern Pennsylvania by working with schools, universities, libraries and foundations to help teachers use the Library’s vast collection of digitized primary sources to enrich their classroom instruction.
