Connecting Arizonans across time and place through the power of their histories. That's what Teaching with Primary Sources (TPS) workshop can do for rural Arizona educators. Supported by a passthrough grant from the Library of Congress, our Education Dept. went to Flagstaff. They met with Arizona teachers to discuss strategies for engaging students with authentic historical evidence, and gain experience integrating primary sources into classroom instruction.
Participants also visited the Pioneer Museum to explore how the AHS documents and artifacts could be instrumental in teaching local histories to students.
Perhaps these students will become involved in National History Day Arizona!
And the Historical League is proud to support this program.
