College Credit

Attendance in the Colonial Williamsburg Teacher Institute provides you the opportunity to apply for three hours of graduate education credit from the University of San Diego (Course Title: Colonial Williamsburg Teacher Institute in Early American History). Credit will be given for attending all sessions of the Colonial Williamsburg Teacher Institute and submission of one original lesson plan based on historical content learned while attending the Teacher Institute. On the final day of the Institute, an Institute attendance sheet will be passed around. Be sure to sign it if you think you may be interested in receiving graduate credit in the next year. The credit is only offered for one year from completing the Institute – you will have until the summer of 2009 to request the graduate credit.

Please submit your lesson plan no later than December 31, 2008. The director of Teacher Programs and Outreach will review it by January 31, 2009. Once it has been approved, you will be sent a University of San Diego college credit application. You must submit the completed college credit application form and a check for $165.00 (price subject to change) to the University of San Diego to receive the three hours of graduate credit.

Submit original lesson plans no later than December 31, 2008 to:
