The Teaching with Primary Sources Program at the University of the Arts

Funded by a grant from the Library of Congress, the Teaching with Primary Sources (TPS) program at the University of the Arts creates professional development opportunities for K-12 educators, Librarians and administrators in the greater-Philadelphia area. TPS-UArts workshops and courses introduce educators, Librarians and administrators to the digital archives available through the Library of Congress website to identify primary source materials to use in the classroom. Additionally, educators learn to use inquiry-based tactics to guide students through analysis of primary sources resulting in stronger higher-order and critical thinking skills for their students.

Who is this for?

Everyone! All educators — regardless of subject, grade or specialty — will be introduced to the breadth of primary sources, their value in instruction and how quality arts content enriches student learning.

What you’ll learn

You’ll learn what, exactly, a primary source is and why it has unique value in teaching. You’ll learn how to use the vast resources of the Library of Congress and their Teacher Tools. You’ll develop hands-on activities and lessons for your students, and we provide materials to help you implement this right away.
