VIDEO: Educators on MV’s Summer Institutes

Every summer Mount Vernon invites a handful of educators to attend our on-site summer teachers’ institutes. These educators from a diverse array of states and school levels converge for one of several one-week programs focused on George Washington. They receive behind-the-scenes tours of the estate, in-depth lectures by renowned professors, and an overall immersive experience in the life and times of the nation’s first president.

Hear what some of this year’s teachers have to say. We won’t be taking applications for next year until early 2012, but feel free to check out more details here in the meantime.
