"The four-day institute will provide educators with the tools and resources to effectively integrate primary sources into classroom teaching.
Though many teachers are familiar with the importance of primary sources, they are not sure how to use them in the classroom, how to develop inquiry-based lessons, or how to help students use them in projects. In this institute, Library of Congress education specialists will introduce participants to the unique characteristics of primary sources, while helping them explore some of the millions of digitized primary sources available on the Library's Web site. Participants will be able to work with like-minded teachers from around the country to explore methods for effectively integrating primary sources into classroom activities.
After participating in the Summer Teacher Institutes, participants will:
Understand and analyze primary sources
Employ primary sources in classroom activities
Access primary sources from the Library of Congress
Understand the legal and ethical use of digital resources
Understand the inquiry process
Create inquiry-based activities using primary sources"
"Although the Library cannot provide college or professional development credits for those participating in the Teacher Institutes, we will provide a certificate of completion."

"Drury University and Wilson's Creek National Battlefield invite you to join us for an extraordinary chance to relive one of the most overlooked—and yet important—battles in the Civil War.
"We will hold these special workshops for schoolteachers on the site where Union and Confederate soldiers confronted one another in the early days of the war. There you will study with six of the foremost Civil War scholars in the nation. You will take part in daily seminars and in guided tours and will engage in stimulating interactions with colleagues from all over the country. On the cornfield where the battle commenced or upon the 'Bloody Hill' where it ended, you will learn about the battle's importance from a wide range of academic perspectives. And you will come away from the experience intellectually refreshed and ready to share your knowledge with your students.
"'Wilson’s Creek: How a Forgotten Battle Saved Missouri and Changed the Course of the Civil War' is designed for full-time and part-time classroom teachers who teach the Civil War in American history, literature, art history, or religion classes in middle school and high school."

Workshop participants seeking graduate credit may enroll for three hours of credit from Drury University. (They will be required to follow Drury’s admission procedures for non-degree students and to pay their own tuition and fees.)
