The program is seeking applications from public and private organizations, including institutions of education and libraries, for any of the following types of teaching resources that "enhance teachers' ability to integrate digitized primary sources from the Library of Congress into inquiry-based instruction that builds student literacy, critical thinking skills, content knowledge and ability to conduct original research":

  • Other types of instructional materials.

The application deadline is April 22. Complete details can be found on the Teaching with Primary Sources data sheet.
