Education, Elementary

The Augustana College Economic Education Workshop teaching packets were assembled at workshops held by Augustana between 1958 and 1963. The packets are primarily designed to assist elementary school teachers teaching the basics of economics to students in kindergarten through third grade, with some materials focusing on junior high school students. Augustana College’s Economic Education Workshops were directed by Marcus Bruhn, chair of Augustana’s economics department.

Portrait in the Attic was a sixth-grade art history program developed by Augustana College art history professor Catherine Carter Goebel and funded by the William Butterworth Memorial Trust. The Portrait in the Attic collection, circa 1990s and 2002, contains an introductory booklet and CD-ROM for teachers to use in preparation for participating in the program and four folders of photographs.
