Thursday I participated in 6 more hours of training as a LOC Ambassador… Learned a lot more!

Educators may become Library of Congress Ambassadors if they have engaged in extensive TPS training. The activities of the Library of Congress Ambassadors will include the following:

• Serving at the school, school district, or state level with the Teaching with Primary Sources Program or mentor other educators.
• Presenting their exemplary Teaching with Primary Sources products to consortium members and at educational conferences, with an emphasis on state level opportunities.
• Reviewing additional content for the Library of Congress Web site for teachers.

Publishing in online and print journals
