The Right Question Institute is offering a free online course this fall called "Teaching Students to Ask Their Own Primary Source Questions." The registration deadline is October 19; the course runs from October 26 - November 23. The course is asynchronous and takes about 3-4 hours per week. You'll learn how to navigate the Library of Congress's amazing online resources, how to teach your students to ask questions using the Question Formulation Technique, and how to teach with primary sources. I took the course in the spring and learned a LOT; I highly recommend it if you've got the time and interest! I'll be facilitating one of the discussion groups for the fall course so I hope to see some of you there! Feel free to reach out with any questions or just to let me know you've signed up. I've included the links below:

The TPS Teachers Network has an equal exchange of ideas. You know it's not a place where you're being judged.

My colleagues post incredibly fine resources and ideas....the caliber of the suggestions and resources make me feel that I take a lot from it. It's a takeaway. And I hope that I can give back as much as I get.
