History Teacher Receives Fellowship
Upper School history/humanities teacher Jim Newman was selected for a Barringer Fellowship through the Monticello and Thomas Jefferson Foundation. The Fellowship gave Newman the opportunity to conduct two weeks of independent research and study during the summer at Monticello, and the Jefferson Library in Charlottesville, Va.
“This provided me an incredible opportunity to think, research, learn, discuss, observe and develop a curriculum that I can employ in my classes,” Newman said. “I love the research process and spent my days in the Jefferson Library reading Jefferson’s personal letters, building notebooks, and other primary and secondary sources related to Jefferson’s architectural vision.”
Besides being able to incorporate this research into his curriculum, the Fellowship gave Newman a reminder of his general goal as an educator. “My greatest goal as an educator is to convey my passion for the study of history to my students,” Newman said.
