Engage in inquiry using the C3 Framework and the Library of Congress’ digital primary sources at Puerto Rico Convention Center in San Juan, PR, December 15-16 2025. National Council for the Social Studies (NCSS) is proud to invite methods professors, doctoral students, and classroom teachers to this special free professional learning institute!

The NCSS Teaching with Primary Sources (TPS) Methods Academy Institute brings together social studies methods professors, pre-service, and in-service teachers to pilot chapters from the newly released set of methods texts, Teaching with Primary Sources to Prepare Students for College, Career, and Civic Life. Participants will have the opportunity to join a cohort of educators to develop and publish model curriculum inquiries that can be adapted for their methods courses and classroom curricula, using these free online texts and other Library of Congress resources.

Texts developed as part of the NCSS TPS project, Inquiry and Teaching to Prepare for Career, College, and Civic Life, generously supported by the Library of Congress Teaching with Primary Sources grant.
