SUMMARY:Thomas Jefferson and the Declaration of Independence
DESCRIPTION:Jefferson identified his three greatest accomplishments as the Declaration of Independence\, The Virginia Statute for Religious Freedom\, and Founding the University of Virginia. In the seminar we will discuss his main writings on these three topics. \n\nDiscussion Leader: Micheal Zuckert\nHistoric Site: National Constitution Center & Independence Hall National Historic Park\nHotel: Penn’s View Hotel\n\nGather with a small group of teachers from around the country for three days immersed in discussion and exploration of a single topic in American history. Weekend Seminars are a free opportunity for teachers hosted near an important historical site. Teachers will prepare ahead of time for seminars by reading selected historical documents in the provided course packet. Once the seminar begins\, the discussion leader guides a peer-to-peer\, text-based conversation among all participants. Meals\, materials\, single-occupancy rooms\, and historical site visits are 100% covered by Teaching American History. At the end of each course\, every teacher receives a letter of participation for fifteen contact hours of continuing education and a stipend of $600 to help defray travel costs.
