About TPS Workshops
Teaching with Primary Sources workshops are designed for teachers and school librarians from all grade levels and content areas. Schools earn resources and tools when multiple staff members participate.
Start your professional development experience with the Essentials Exploration. These introductory level workshops will...
- Introduce you to primary sources and their value in the classroom.
- Draw you into the Library's rich online collections.
- Provide key search strategies for the website.
- Focus on engaging students through investigations and inquiry.
Complete the Essentials Exploration and you're eligible for Special Topics and Advanced Applications workshops.
Optional fee-based graduate credit is also available. Workshops are scheduled on a regular basis at a central site. You can also request workshops at your school for your staff. Contact us at primary.sources@unco.edu or 970-351-1555 to register.
All workshops are grant-funded, meaning NO COST to you. For upcoming workshops, see Upcoming Events to the right or visit our calendar.
