The Library of Congress Teaching with Primary Sources Program at Waynesburg University delivers professional development programs to pre-service and in-service K-12 teachers as well as faculty members. Waynesburg University also serves as Eastern Region Coordinator with outreach responsibility for 17 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. The goal is to help teachers use the Library of Congress’ rich reservoir of digitized primary source materials, available through http://loc.gov, to design challenging, high-quality instruction that promote higher-level thinking skills.
