SUMMARY:The Founding and the Jefferson Enigma
DESCRIPTION:Thomas Jefferson remains one of the most enigmatic figures from the American Founding.  From his stance on slavery to his opinions on the Constitution and the separation of church and state\, Jefferson left behind a legacy rich in contradiction and\, at times\, confusion.  This seminar will examine Jeffersonianism and the man that gave rise to many different opinions about government and society. \n\nHistoric Site: The Gateway Arch\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 Teachers will prepare ahead of time for seminars by reading selected historical documents in the provided course packet.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.
