Teachers Wrap Up Summer Institute
Friday marks the last day of Mount Vernon’s final George Washington Teachers’ Institute for summer 2010.
Throughout the week, teachers grades five through eight have gathered on the banks of the Potomac at George Washington’s estate, immersing themselves in the study and discussion of the founding father’s public and private life. The week’s 24 teachers, part of a larger cohort of 68 to pass through the institute this summer, will disperse to their respective states, taking Washington everywhere from Reno, Nev. to Ardmore, Okla.
With an estimated 349 years of teaching between them, this session’s carefully selected educators have gained a nuanced understanding of the nation’s first president. Click on the link below to see their week in photos.
