>
> The American Memory Fellows Program is an excellent opportunity for
> outstanding teachers, librarians and media specialists to work with the
> Library of Congress to understand better how primary sources can enrich
> the learning experience of students in grades 4 through 12. This is a
> yearlong professional development opportunity, the cornerstone of which
> is the American Memory Fellows Institute, held in Washington at the
> Library of Congress in two six-day sessions: July 15-20 or July 22-27,
> 2001.
>
> The American Memory Fellows Institute sponsors 25 two-person teams of
> exemplary grade 4-12 educators for their stay in Washington. Each
> session will accommodate approximately 12 teams of 24 Fellows. Teams
> will attend only one session; however, to be eligible for consideration,
> teams must be available for both sessions. To apply, use the application
> found online at http://learning.loc.gov/learn/amfp
> Applications must be postmarked by Feb. 26, 2001.

> American Memory Fellows Institute
>
> During the six-day institute, Fellows will work with Library of Congress
> staff and consultants, examine both actual and virtual primary source
> artifacts photographs, maps, graphic arts, video, audio, documents and
> texts plus learn strategies for working with these electronic primary
> source materials. Participants will also develop sample teaching
> materials that draw upon the American Memory online materials.
>
> The Fellowship Year

> Following the Institute, Fellows will continue to develop, refine and
> test their teaching materials with other colleagues and students. These
> teacher-created materials are then edited for presentation on the
> Library of Congress Learning Page at http://learning.loc.gov/learn

> groups. American Memory Fellows, as mentors to their professions, are
> also asked to share their knowledge with other colleagues throughout the
> nation at workshops and seminars or in writing.
