Project Update - December 2005
Summary
When fully operational, the higher education
faculty development model can help improve the quality of
education by making the Library of Congress (LOC) resources
essential texts in learning and the use of the LOC by faculty
and teachers an automatic part of their everyday instructional
routine. Over time, faculty members from all academic areas
relevant to teacher education may use the LOC as a text in
their courses. It can become a strand throughout the teacher
education curriculum, meaning that students will progressively
learn about the LOC and apply that learning in general education,
professional education, field experiences, and student teaching.
In participating institutions, the aim is for every new teacher
to be well-prepared and well-equipped to use the LOC as an
essential resource in teaching and learning.
Higher education faculty will also be able
to offer in-service professional development on using the
LOC effectively to classroom teachers, expanding the impact
of the project.
In addition, the model enables higher education faculty
to maintain an ongoing process of development that can influence
their teaching, research, and service.
