TEACHING STUDENTS TO ASK THEIR OWN PRIMARY SOURCE QUESTIONS ONLINE COURSE

When studying primary sources, questions can act as both a magnifying glass and
a telescope: They help us to see more clearly what is in front of us and then
inspire us to look beyond. Learning how to ask questions is an essential skill
that can transform the way students approach primary source learning. Join us
for Teaching Students to Ask Their Own Primary Source Questions: a new, free
online course made possible by the Library of Congress Teaching with Primary
Sources (TPS) program. 

 * Dates: October 26-November 23, 2021
 * Registration deadline: October 19

DESCRIPTION

Learn how to combine the Question Formulation Technique with Library of Congress
primary sources to drive student-centered, inquiry-based primary source
learning. Participants walk away with a peer reviewed lesson plan, a new
community of educators, and pathways to extend their learning.

 * Audience: K-12 educators and instructional leaders who hope to use primary
   sources in their work
 * Commitment: This online course runs for four weeks and requires approximately
   three to four hours of work per week (12-16 hours total). Coursework includes
   weekly readings, videos, active practice, and discussion board posts, and
   concludes with writing and submitting an original lesson plan. While there
   are no required live (synchronous) elements, this course is paced; a new
   session opens each week to enhance active peer-to-peer discussion and
   collaboration. Participants who complete course requirements will receive a
   certificate of completion for 12 clock hours.
