Crossroads of History Project

Free Professional Development for Teaching with Primary Sources (TPS)

NCCE is offering an exceptional FREE training called The Crossroads of History Project. This course provides instruction on using the Library of Congress's primary sources to develop and implement informed, meaningful activity plans based on social justice and civil rights issues. 

“The Crossroads to History training is an excellent way to show instructors the value of imparting historical information in an objective manner and allowing students to construct their interpretations of the facts. When we accept the reality of our past and use what we have learned to see everyone as fellow human beings, the future of our country can only improve.”

-Ptosha Maclin, MA NCCE Professional Learning Specialist
