Resources for Educators
The Guide Service provides historical tours to students of all ages, from the Charlottesville-Albemarle area to those coming from out-of-state and even out-of-country. To facilitate the learning experience of students on tours, we have made a number of worksheets - organized by grade level - that teachers can choose to give to students to help enhance their learning experience. We hope this will help educators and students continue to talk about the history of Mr. Jefferson's University in their classroom and at home.
All of our resources are stored in Google Documents. Click on the link to open the document. From there, you will be able to download your own copy by going to “File” and clicking on “Download.” You can also print the document by using the Control + P shortcut.
