TPS-MTSU is now TPS-Southern Regional Partner. The Teaching with Primary Sources Regional program promotes the widespread, sustained and effective use of primary sources from the Library of Congress in K-12 classrooms by increasing access to the TPS program. Access resources for the classroom and professional development at the Library of Congress's Teachers Page.
As the TPS-Southern Regional Partner, we will join the established regional partner programs in increasing access to the Teaching with Primary Sources program by providing direct funding to projects that serve educators.
We're looking to award a number of sub-grants to qualified organizations for the purpose of funding short-term educational projects. School districts, universities, cultural institutions, library systems, and other educational organizations may apply for grants of up to $25,000 to incorporate TPS materials and methods into their existing education and professional development programs for pre- and in-service teachers, librarians, and other K-12 educators. Grant recipients may use TPS funding to meet a variety of programmatic needs, including delivering online or face-to-face TPS workshops; embedding TPS materials and content into broader professional development programs; or revising undergraduate or graduate course syllabi or curricula to include a TPS focus. Projects will be completed in a cycle lasting no more than 12 months.
Please fill out the Notice of Intent form and we will reach out to you to discuss your proposed project.
