Teaching with the Washington Library

The George Washington Teacher Institute is excited to offer current K-12 educators the opportunity to participate in deep discussions and inquiries into the complexities of George Washington's biography, Martha Washington and the women of the 18th-century, and the enslaved community at Mount Vernon from the digital collections from the Washington Library. 

This FREE digital symposium will bring the best sessions and speakers of our popular, application-based Summer Residential Programs  and the best of the Washington Library's Digital Collections and historians into your home. 

Join us as we:

  • Explore the economic, political, social, and cultural histories of Martha Washington and other women of the 18th century
  • Engage with diverse source materials to better understand the individual lives of those enslaved at Mount Vernon
  • Investigate connections between the actions and inactions of decision makers in the 18th century, with those today
  • Share best practices, strategies, and resources to facilitate conversations about founding era history and relevance with students
