Goals

Continue to engage with resources and models for teaching from the Library of Congress, Pulitzer Center, Philly School Media Network, NWP C3WP, and other primary source databases to begin curating and planning for the fall
Demonstrate how primary sources can support at least one teaching strategy (for example, literacy, inquiry-based learning, historical thinking, etc.)
Create a primary source-based activity that helps students engage in learning, develop critical thinking skills and construct knowledge
Continue to reflect on and engage in practitioner inquiry through reading and writing about questions of practice, particularly in terms of teaching about race
