Stratford Hall's Teachers Seminar
The Stratford Hall Teachers Seminar is an annual 3-day seminar for K-12 history educators and includes accommodation at Stratford Hall and travel study to important historic sites like historic Jamestowne, Patrick Henry’s Scotchtown, the American Revolution Institute, and elsewhere.
Stratford Hall invites rising and established scholars to share their expertise with participants on a range of topics from slavery to early American religious life and spirituality.
Teacher Specialists help participants to translate and operationalize seminar insights for K-12 classrooms.
