White House History Teacher Institute

This in-person and virtual institute is open to any pre-service or current K-12 educator. This includes, but is not limited to, classroom teachers of history, government, civics, social studies, language arts, and fine arts, as well as librarians, media specialists, and curriculum coordinators. There are no limitations based on school type (i.e., public, private, charter, or homeschool).

The in-person Institute is a five-day immersive teacher professional development program hosted by the White House Historical Association in Washington, DC. The in-person format features discussions with historians, local site visits, inquiry-based learning activities, guest speakers, and the opportunity to network with fellow educators from across the country.

The virtual Institute is a fully online program that offers greater capacity and accessibility. Educators will hear from special speakers, gain access to exclusive resources, and participate in interactive sessions with colleagues from across the nation.

Application for the Institute is open from January 9, 2023, through February 20, 2023.  Learn more about the White House History Institute here.
