Summer Workshops on Teaching with Primary Sources
K–12 teachers are invited to join the Library of Congress in Washington, DC, for a free three-day, onsite professional development workshop in which they will learn and practice strategies for using primary sources with their students.
Three sessions will be offered in summer 2023: July 5–7, July 12–14, and July 17–19. In each session, Library of Congress education specialists will model a variety of hands-on, inquiry-based teaching strategies for using primary sources to engage students, build critical thinking skills, construct knowledge, and launch original research. Activities will feature some of the millions of historical artifacts from the Library’s collections—photographs, prints, manuscripts, maps, multimedia, and more—which are digitized and freely available online.
Deadline: Applications are due by February 10, 2023.

Each month we publish newsletters full of digital learning, funding, professional growth, social media, and STEM resources. Below are items from our blogs and newsletters that educators turned to the most in February.
Focus & Engage: How Edtech Can Boost Student Outcomes
With the widespread integration of interactive technologies and persistent noise pollution, students and teachers are in distracting and often uncomfortable environments to learn and teach. In a recent survey by Logitech and Education Week, 74% of teachers agreed that students’ level of physical comfort while using educational technology impacts their level of engagement in learning “some” or “a lot.” Research shows that when educators are equipped with the right tools, student engagement and learning outcomes can increase. Join Logitech, edWeb, and CoSN to learn practical and creative edtech strategies and actionable tips to overcome today’s classroom challenges.
Learning Companions to Films Focusing on Social Justice and Race Relations
Ava DuVernay, the filmmaker behind films for television and theaters, including When They See Us, Colin in Black & White, and Queen Sugar, has released a free online resource that includes lesson plans, or “learning companions,” which teachers can use to accompany instruction about her films.BROWSE TOPICS
