• Library of Congress Student Lessons

  The Adventure of the American Mind Online Education Program is funded by a grant from the Library of Congress . As a part of this grant, we have created self-paced online lessons using resources available on the Library of Congress website ( www.loc.gov ). These lessons included topics from flight to quilting and early mountain folk music.
  These interactive, online lessons and additional educational materials are available free on our website. This excellent student ready resource may be used by educators to supplement classroom activities. To learn more about how the Library of Congress and these online lessons would be beneficial to your teachers, subscribe to our monthly newsletter by sending an e-mail to aamonline@aweber.com or visiting our website (www.aamonline.org ).

If you have additional questions, please contact Pamela M. Johnson, Ed. D. - Director, Online Education Program at 866.325.8585.

• Information from the U.S. Department of Education
  

  Teacher Loan Forgiveness - The Taxpayer-Teacher Protection Act (P.L. 108-409) : Teachers who teach math, science, or special education & who have taught for five years in a Title I school may be eligible for new loan forgiveness limits. The Taxpayer-Teacher Protection Act (P.L. 108-409) authorizes up to $17,500 in loan forgiveness to eligible highly qualified math, science & special education teachers. This increase of $12,500 above the previous loan limits is meant to ease the shortage of teachers in key subject areas.

For more information, please see the following web pages: http://www.ed.gov/teachers/how/tools/initiative/updates/2005/0124.html and http://www.ifap.ed.gov/dpcletters/GEN0414.html
