For Teachers

Mount Vernon’s Resources for Teachers contains lesson plans developed by master teachers, including graduates of the George Washington Teacher Institute, as well as Mount Vernon educators and historians.

Bring Mount Vernon experts and resources directly to your students! Enhance your classroom teaching with engaging distance learning programs designed to deepen students' understanding of George Washington, Mount Vernon, and life in the 18th century, all while enhancing their critical thinking skills. 

What better way is there for students (grades K - 12) to learn about George Washington than to walk in his footsteps at his iconic home? Make your school's field trip one for the history books!
