Free Professional Development Event for Educators - Teaching with Primary Sources (TPS) program at Waynesburg University

Teachers, librarians, and professors are invited to participate in a free professional development event offered by the Teaching with Primary Sources (TPS) program at Waynesburg University.  TPS and the Pennsylvania Core Standards will be held on Saturdays, September 28 and October 12, from 9:00 am to 3:00 pm at the Waynesburg University Southpointe Campus.  Lunch will be provided.  Participants will earn up to 15 PDE Act 48 Activity hours. 

Teachers interested in techniques to address the newly adopted Common Core State Standards are encouraged to attend.  Pennsylvania Core State Standards focus on student literacy, critical thinking, and application of content knowledge int he classroom. 

The Teaching with Primary Sources (TPS) program equips teachers with methods and tools from the Library of Congress digitized collection of primary sources to address this critical need. Participating educators engage in model learning activities and collaborate with colleagues in pairs and small groups.  The institute builds teaching skills necessary for leading students in the development of literacy skills across the curriculum.  Register for the two-day TPS and the Pennsylvania Core Standards workshop at: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/Level1-Registration.
