Each summer, Colonial Williamsburg Teacher Institute provides teachers from across the United States with an intensive seven-day immersion in early American history. Teachers return to their schools with a new understanding of how we became Americans, new historical content and methods of engaging students in learning, and a renewed enthusiasm for teaching.
Teacher Institute celebrates its 22nd anniversary in 2011 with 18 separate sessions – eleven for elementary teachers, six for middle school teachers and one session for high school teachers. The program helps teachers meet national and state history/social studies standards through on-site, hands-on immersion experiences in American history. Historical content and teaching strategies for the different sessions are geared to the appropriate grade levels and curriculum.
