Opening Keynote, 8–8:50 a.m.

Deep Admiration, Communication, and the Power of Primary Sources Lee Ann Potter, Director of Educational Outreach, Library of Congress

Lee Ann Potter knows that at times we are inspired by the unexpected. As Director of Educational Outreach at the Library of Congress, she gets to explore primary sources that range from public proclamations and mass-produced maps to intimate sketches, diaries, and more – occasionally on the same subject. Lee Ann was recently intrigued by an exchange between Alexander Graham Bell and G. Marconi from 1899, which she will tell us about while reminding us that primary sources inspire wonder while being valuable teaching tools across the curriculum.

Literacy Strategies That Work for Practicing TeachersTwo veteran teachers share classroom-friendly literacy strategies that can be easily adapted for daily lesson planning. Discover strate-gies that can be used in a variety of grade levels and content areas in this interactive session.

Lucianne Brown & Carol Meyer, Governors State University TPSUsing Primary Sources and Technology to Create Engaging Civil War LessonsMake your lessons more engaging for students by using primary sources from the Library of Congress. Learn how primary sourc-es and technology can be used to do close reading, ask text-de-pendent questions, collaborate with others, and think critically in studying the Civil War. We will demonstrate a variety of primary source sets, searching, classroom activities, and teacher resources.

Janice Belzowski, McCormick FoundationCivic Learning – A Gateway to Common Core, Danielson, and the 5 EssentialsSchool-wide commitments to civic learning provide pathways to pursue Common Core and their larger civic missions simultane-ously. Moreover, civic-oriented staff development strategies align well with the state’s new teacher evaluation model. By aligning best practices in civic learning with Common Core, Danielson, and the Illinois 5 Essentials, attendees will emerge equipped to make a case for civics as a means of strengthening the overall education mission of their schools.

Michelle Fry, Loyola University TPS & Amy Wilkinson, SIUE TPS Engaging Learners through Classroom Museum Gallery WalksThe Museum Gallery Walk is a strategy for analyzing a set of re-lated primary sources. Using this technique, students practice analyzing a primary source using the Observe/Reflect/Question technique and collaborate with peers to discuss information at all stages of learning.
