School of Education Events

Location

In 2026, the United States of America will mark the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. To commemorate the foundation of the nation and its legacy into the present, William & Mary, The Colonial Williamsburg Foundation, and the Omohundro Institute of Early American History & Culture have joined together to host a series of five annual conferences. These conferences aim to bring together teachers, museum educators, and public historians to engage in significant conversations about how and why understanding the early American past is especially meaningful today.

The RevEd track of sessions provides opportunities for teachers to share with, learn from, and engage with museum educators from leading museums and teachers from across Virginia. The conference leans into innovative and immersive approaches to teaching and learning about themes from the American Revolution. RevEd submissions might include workshops for K-12 teachers on the topic of using museum artifacts to teach Revolutionary history, teaching demonstrations of innovative pedagogical approaches to teaching civics and history, teacher roundtables about site-specific history lessons, and more.

This year’s conference will explore education strategies and programs and immersive experiences on-site at William & Mary and Colonial Williamsburg, along with the traditional focus on leading scholarly work of the period
