Teachers Summer Institute
Four-day professional development seminars for secondary school history teachers in historic Lexington, Virginia.
George C. Marshall and World War II
The Summer Teachers Institute includes sessions at the George C. Marshall Research Library (Lexington) and National D-Day Memorial (Bedford, Virginia); presentations by World War II historians; and lesson planning workshops. Ideal for teachers of U.S. History and World History.
Connect and Learn
Teachers may attend one of two sessions: Session 1 (June 17 to 20) or Session 2 (July 8 to 11). By design, each session is small, limited to 14 teachers, to promote collaboration among teachers, historians, archivists, and seminar staff.

The George C. Marshall Foundation provides lodging, meals, and a travel allowance for all educators. Teachers who complete the 4-day seminar also receive a $400 honorarium and professional development certificate.
Content Experts
Summer Teachers Institute staff include World War II experts such as Bradley Coleman (Marshall Foundation), Kevin Hymel (U.S. Army), M. Houston Johnson (Virginia Military Institute), Frank Settle (Washington & Lee University), and many others.
