From the Colorado Rural Partnership website:

"Join your colleagues for this three-day institute to investigate how today's paths meet at the crossroads of life 75 years ago. Using New Deal Arts programs as the context, you will gain new insights into Depression-era America and comparison to today's economic and cultural conditions; in-depth knowledge of primary sources from the Library of Congress website as well as local treasures; plus teaching strategies and resources to add to your toolkit. If you teach arts, humanities or social sciences-related classes at any grade level, or are looking for ways to enhance literacy in any subject area, you'll want to be a part of this institute!"

Note: "As an advanced level Teaching with Primary Sources program, this institute requires completion of the Essentials Exploration foundational workshop."

From the Colorado Rural Partnership website:

"The Essentials Exploration, the level one workshop series, provides an orientation and overview of primary sources and the Library of Congress online resources. This hands-on workshop series focuses on strategies for navigating the Library's website, engaging students through critical thinking and analysis, and exploring activities that integrate the Library's sources into content across the curriculum and across grade levels."

The first in the Library of Congress's Teaching with Primary Sources self-directed online modules introduces educators to the history and resources of the Library of Congress and explains the concept of primary sources and how they may be used in a classroom.

From the Learn NC website:

"How long have humans lived in North Carolina? What were these people like, and how do we know? This eight-week online course explores the science of archaeology and 12,000 years of North Carolina's human past. Participants will be introduced to inquiry-based activities that can be adapted to meet their own teaching objectives. The course is open to educators of all subjects and grade levels."

According to the Kentucky Council for the Social Studies website, this event will provide 25 sessions, with "thematic strands for sessions . . . tied into one of the following themes: Pedagogical Strategies, Economic Education, Citizenship, Primary Sources Instruction, and Integration of Disciplines."

From the Foundation for Teaching Economics website:

"These widely acclaimed, cross-curricular programs help teachers incorporate economic reasoning into their high school American history courses. Program instructors provide economic explanations of pivotal historical events.

Participants learn interactive teaching strategies that incorporate the actual circumstances of historical periods of study. With EFIAH lesson plans, teachers can help their students learn by re-living history rather than just reading or hearing about it. A 'must take' course for any teacher of American history."
