Eastern Regional Partnership
The mission of the Teaching with Primary Sources program is to build a consortium that fosters collaborations between the Library of Congress and the educational community to increase instructional use of Library of Congress digital primary sources within K-12 classrooms. The program contributes to the quality of education by deepening content understanding and improving student literacy in our nation’s schools.


Opportunity
to Participate:

The Eastern Regional Teaching with Primary Sources (TPS) Program is currently accepting proposals for the integration of primary sources in K-12 education, existing pre-service and graduate-level education curriculum, and teacher professional development programs. Additionally, cultural institutions and other community organizations may be partners within these programs.

Proposals from $5,000 to $15,000 will be considered and are accepted on a rolling basis. Preference will be given to proposals that have the most potential for being integrated into K-12 classrooms for the long-term.
