## What the grant funds

Teaching with Primary Sources Program (TPS) The Teaching with Primary Sources (TPS) program has been the Library of Congress’s premier educational outreach program. The goals of the program have included providing instructional materials, tools, education, and professional development that enhance teachers’ ability to integrate digitized primary sources from the Library of Congress into instruction that builds student literacy, critical thinking skills, content knowledge and ability to conduct original research. Since the establishment of the Center for Learning, Literacy and Engagement in 2018, and the release of the Library’s 2019-23 and 2024-2028 Strategic Plans, the TPS goals are both influencing and reflecting the Library’s broader outreach goals. TPS Consortium members are valued as “Connectors” who help the Library achieve its vision of connecting to all Americans. www.loc.gov/teachers Additional Information about the TPS Regional Program In 2018, after a multi-year pilot, the Library formally incorporated the TPS Regional Program into the TPS Program. The Library currently has three Regional Partners – Waynesburg University, Illinois State University, and Metropolitan State University of Denver. They have offered subawards of between $5,000 and $25,000, on behalf of the Library, to educational organizations in the Eastern, Midwestern, and Western regions, respectively. As of January 2024, Regional Partners have made subawards to 511 organizations in all 50 states, D.C., and Puerto Rico, to incorporate Library of Congress materials and TPS methods into their educational programming. Eligible awardee organizations include but are not limited to: K-12 school districts, libraries, universities, state departments of education, cultural institutions, foundations, non-profits, and community organizations. Funded projects are diverse and tailored to the unique needs of learners in various communities. For example, subawards have provided resources for nonprofits to reach teachers working in a remote part of their states. They have helped local cultural institutions connect items in their holdings with digitized primary sources from the Library to provide learners with both a local and national view of important historical events. TPS regional awards have helped youth from ethnic minorities use Library resources to delve into their communities’ experience in America.
