This course consists of sessions and lectures by Monticello professional staff members, exploring all aspects of Thomas Jefferson's life, accomplishments, and character. (This is a several-month-long series of lectures, not a live-in intensive course.)

This seminar will "focus on Virginia's political leadership and cultural life in the era of the American Revolution. Participants will gain an understanding of the unique events and dynamics that prevailed in mid-to-late 18th-century Virginia and will be given the tools to incorporate this newfound knowledge directly into their classrooms in order to enrich students' educational experiences."
