Description:
How do you know if students are really learning what you think you are teaching? This workshop distills information found in the forthcoming SAA handbook 604 Measurable Learning Outcomes for Primary Source Literacy about turning the broad objectives listed in the Guidelines for Primary Source Literacy into specific, observable learning outcomes.
