Join Caitlin Haynes, Program Manager at the Smithsonian Transcription Center, and Ashleigh Coren, the Women’s History Content and Interpretation Curator at the National Portrait Gallery and the Acting Head of Education at the Smithsonian American Women’s History Initiative, to learn transferrable questions and techniques to help students analyze primary sources, build primary source literacy skills, and investigate women’s history. In this interactive session, we will model transferrable techniques to closely analyze primary source documents, demonstrate how to engage students with transcribed documents and transcription, and discuss strategies for adaptation to different learning environments. Participants will leave with ready-to-use activities and digital museum resources to use with learners.

This interactive webinar is part of “Cultivating Learning,” a professional development webinar series focusing on techniques to use digital museum resources for learning. Check out “Cultivating Learning” and other Smithsonian Learning Lab webinars: https://learninglab.si.edu/help
