Teacher's Edition

Our tours are true learning experiences. Thus, the reason for offering this very special tour, the "Teacher's Edition". This is for you, the educator, and your students.  We currently host tours sponsored by area Universities & Colleges, and even have guides who have been educators themselves.   

The "Teacher's Edition" tells the San Antonio Story in a logical and accurate way, supporting a "by topic" consideration in a manner relative  to  your needs.   Furthermore,  the content is modified and presented appropriate  to age  and  educational level, from elementary to college.  In addition, we can provide you with assessment material that may be administered before or after the tour, which are designed in like manner.  In fact, an effective option has been to use this during the tour.  It holds their attention while increasing anticipation for the information to be presented. 

San Antonio's earliest communities had a truly fascinating history in their own right. Yet, the narrative of how they drew together to become the one city we know today is most interesting.  Such developments are rarely discussed or known, even to local residents, nor is the proper emphasis each community deserves given to them when being considered.  In reality, they all  played a significant part in the Texas and Mexican Revolution, and the "Battle of the Alamo"!  By considering their place in relation to these and other historic developments, one gains a unique and more rounded perspective of the history they not only affected, but even participated in. 

This insightful approach will not only deepen and clarify one's understanding of San Antonio's history, but that of Texas, because, no place was as central to Texas History than San Antonio.  Therefore, it is critical to understand her STORY and this is what makes San Antonio "Walks" a unique educational tool.  We use our city, San Antonio, as the palette from which the painting of Texas history is created, and actually summarize Texas' History in the process, within the time frame of 2 hours!  Many tell us they will never look at the city the same again and have gained a newfound appreciation for just how rich San Antonio's history really is!

Not to mention, discussing these key events from the location where they actually occurred, makes for a most engrossing tour. Regarding the Alamo, it may be considered as extensively as you'd like.  Again, by use of storytelling, many students find the famous battle more understandable than ever! 

Ultimately, you'll come to appreciate how the foregoing not only affected Texas, but US and even WORLD HISTORY.  You'll also be surprised by other developments in San Antonio which have left their mark on history.  Additionally,  your students will no doubt learn some new information not yet in textbooks as we are regularly updating and researching our topics in order to promote the most recent and accurate understanding of matters.
