National History Education Clearinghouse

Barringer Research Fellowship for Teachers of American History

This fellowship provides individual teachers an opportunity to research and study at Monticello and the Jefferson Library. It will allow teachers to work on Jefferson-specific projects such as lesson plans, curricular units, resource packets, or syllabus outlines that will enhance their classroom teaching. Fellowship recipients will spend two weeks in independent research and consultation with Monticello scholars on projects that relate directly to Thomas Jefferson and that will enhance their classroom presentations. The grant may be taken at any time during the recipient's summer vacation.
