District 70 Workshop - Pueblo

In late October, TPS-Colorado traveled to Pueblo, CO for a two-day Level I workshop focused on exploring the vast online resources available through the Library of Congress. Fifteen District 70 educators of various disciplines were quick to find common pedagogical approaches among their various grade levels and subjects, all catalyzed through their work

Local liason and CSU-Pueblo Professor of History, Jonathan Rees, worked diligently through local channels to bring together a great cross-section of Pueblo teachers (many seen below) for an exciting two days of exploration and revelation. One teacher even arrived armed with a magnifying glass, ready for discovery and inquiry at its finest.
