[YEP-DC] DC History Summer Teacher Institute FREE for local teachers

The Civil War Washington Teacher Fellows program is a highly interactive, place-based summer institute offered by Ford's Theatre, the Frederick Douglass National Historic Site, President Lincoln's Cottage and Tudor Place Historic House. 

The Catherine B. Reynolds Civil War Washington Teacher Fellows
Join up to 25 teachers to learn about Abraham Lincoln, Frederick Douglass and the city of Washington during the Civil War!

• Walk in the footsteps of Abraham Lincoln, his "Team of Rivals," and Confederate spies who plotted against him at Ford's Theatre;
• Experience the home of a southern sympathizer in historic Georgetown, and learn how she saved her beloved estate from the Union army;
• Learn about the contraband camps and Emancipation Day as you follow Lincoln's commute to and from the Old Soldier's Home on a hill north of the city; and
• Visit historic Anacostia and the beautiful home of Frederick Douglass as he helped raise up the formerly enslaved during and after Reconstruction.

Come away from your week in Washington familiar with: an array of virtual tours, the oratory skills to get your students on their feet performing speeches by Lincoln and Douglass; comfortable taking students on content-driven experiential learning adventures; and excited about using classroom drama to help historic characters come alive!
