Participants use Subject Specific programs to explore sections of LOC.gov with depth. Subject Specific programs result in a primary source-based instructional product that is integrated into the routines and resources of the educational community for use beyond the term of the grant. Subject Specific programs support the self-perpetuation of purposeful use of LOC.gov.

Subject Specific Program Goals

1. Continue to develop Library of Congress patrons through self-perpetuating programs within school districts, communities and colleges/universities.
2. Provide subject specific professional development programs to broaden and deepen educator content knowledge as well as understanding and use of the digital collections.
3. Promote innovative use of Library of Congress resources through established community outreach programs, expanding audiences who support students including families and organizations beyond the education community.
4. Disseminate Best Instructional Practices, innovative community outreach initiatives, and exemplary primary source-based Lesson Plans for replication and implementation by others.
