Contact: 202-225-2071 United States Rep. Virginia Foxx (N.C.-5) today announced that North Carolina teachers can apply for the Library of Congress’ 2010 Summer Teacher Institutes starting on January 19, 2010. The four-day Summer Institutes are held at the Library over the course of six different weeks during the summer. “The Library of Congress’ program helps open up a treasure trove of resources to teachers in North Carolina, Foxx said. “North Carolina educators who want a unique way to grow professionally should apply to the Summer Teacher Institutes as soon as possible, since this program fills up fast.”
The Library of Congress’ Summer Teacher Institutes are designed to introduce educators to the millions of digitized primary sources from the Library and to give teachers the tools to put these resources to work in classrooms. The Institutes are open to all educators in grades 4-12 including teachers, librarians and media specialists in public, private or religious schools, and to home schooling parents. Applications for the program will be available on the Library of Congress’ Web site, www.loc.gov, starting January 19. The deadline for application is March 19, 2010, but since sessions are limited to 20 participants the Library expects slots to fill up before the deadline. Interested educators are encouraged to visit www.loc.gov as soon as possible to download and complete an application.
