Check out this Opportunity with History Colorado in April!

TPS at MSU Denver

Calling All Teachers of Colorado History!

Teaching with Primary Sources at Metropolitan State University of Denver (Library of Congress) and the Colorado Encyclopedia (Colorado Humanities) are offering 20 teachers the opportunity to extend their Colorado Council for Social Studies Conference experience.  Selected teachers will:
  • Attend a workshop on Friday afternoon (following the conference lunch and the keynote speaker) and all day Saturday at MSU Denver on April 8 and 9 on the Auraria Campus.
  • Receive reimbursement for the conference registration and a $100 stipend for developing an Annotated Resource Set related to Colorado History.
  • Explore and learn about the new Colorado Encyclopedia – a digital collection of “all things Colorado” – resources for teachers and students related to Colorado History.
  • Join, explore, and use the tools of the TPS Teachers Network, a nationwide social media network designed specifically to support teaching with Library of Congress primary sources.
  • Develop an “Annotated Resource Set” (ARS) of Colorado-themed resources that will be submitted to the Education Editorial Committee for inclusion in the Education Section of the Colorado Encyclopedia.
  • Participants will also receive TPS certification for 12 hours that can be used toward license renewal.
Teachers interested in this opportunity should contact Cynthia Stout at ckstout@comcast.net
