Project description

This Library of Congress consortium grant project will focus on improving student learning outcomes using primary sources from the Library’s collection. Using a learning trajectory framework, we will develop a series of teaching and learning activities for students in grades 6-12 representing the proper developmental progression of ideas and skills necessary to use primary sources to understand history. Teachers will use these materialss to sequence instructional activities and provide supportive learning environments for all students. The project team will integrate action research methods to evaluate the planning, implementation, and assessment of the skills ladders.
