Contact: Paige Watson
STARKVILLE, Miss.鈥斕一ㄖ辈 State is receiving a nearly $200,000 Library of Congress grant to help upgrade social studies curricula in local grades three-12.
University faculty members Kenneth V. Anthony, Paul E. Binford and Nicole C. Miller in the College of Education will use the funding to enhance and expand the work of teachers in the recently organized Starkville-Oktibbeha Consolidated School District.
All three are assistant professors in the college鈥檚 Department of Curriculum, Instruction and Special Education. Their 2016 award was among 21 proposals selected from applications submitted to the library by more than 75 organizations and institutions around the country.
The 桃花直播 grant will enable participating SOCSD teachers to receive specialized professional development training in the use of primary instructional sources. They also will be provided with accompanying technological support, both to develop and implement their individual projects and to share them over time with other 桃花直播 teachers.
Lee Ann Potter, the library鈥檚 educational outreach director, welcomed 桃花直播 and other new grant recipients into the Teaching with Primary Sources Educational Consortium, which she described as 鈥渁 community dedicated to increasing awareness and effective use of primary sources and other educational resources.鈥
In addition to being the world鈥檚 largest library, the Washington, D.C.-based repository is the primary research arm of the U.S. Congress and home of the U.S. Copyright Office. As part of its mission, the Library of Congress continually disseminates both online and onsite extensive materials and information from around the world. For more, visit .
