As part of its educational mission, The Museum of the Confederacy annually offers teachers a professional development course. The week-long Teachers Institute includes lectures, tours, living history, and discussions led by Museum staff and guest lecturers designed to expand teachers' resources for dealing with the complex subjects relating to the American Civil War in today's classrooms. Held each year during the last week of June or the first week in July, the Institute offers a curriculum anchored by The Museum's unparalleled collections and archives, staff experience, and guest lecturer expertise. The course is designed not only to provide an in-depth look at a chosen topic each year but also to assist teachers in earning re-certification points.
