The Teaching with Primary Sources (TPS) Consortium currently includes 400 partner organizations and reaches all 50 states and the District of Columbia. Consortium members share ideas, information, and materials, and in many cases collaborate on the design and delivery of TPS projects.
Members have offered professional development workshops and academic courses focused on using Library primary sources in several subject matter and skill areas, including STEM, civil rights, disability history, teaching English Language Learners, regional history, assessment, and many others.
They have written curricula for teaching civics, culturally relevant pedagogy, and argumentative writing, based on use of Library of Congress collections, which educators can adapt to use with their own students and participants.
Still other TPS Consortium members have created online apps and online interactives for kindergarteners through high school seniors that teach concepts, develop analysis skills, and unleash creativity.
