Primary Source Pedagogy
$250.00
Dates: August 4 - August 31Credits: 1.5 CEUs or 15 PDHs
This course is for anyone who feels unprepared to teach well with primary sources, especially:
- archivists or special collections librarians new to instruction
- instruction librarians unfamiliar with primary source literacy
This course will explore what “primary source” even means. It also assumes that they can be found everywhere — in museums, archives, or special collections; in circulating collections or subscription databases; on the open web, in private hands, or even in natural and built environments. A key text for this course will be the new Guidelines for Primary Source Literacy.
Students who successfully complete this course will gain confidence in their teaching by:
- recognizing what skills and expertise they bring to primary source pedagogy
- developing new conceptual frameworks for understanding primary sources
- discovering useful, trusted resources for teaching with primary sources
- mastering concepts of instructional design and active learning
- applying practical strategies for planning and facilitating learning experiences in a wide variety of library settings
This course can be taken as one of the courses in our eight-course Certificate in Library Instruction, but can be taken as a stand-alone course as well.
