Teaching the Holocaust, Empowering Students

CANCELLED DUE TO COVID-19. Email rosa@dankhaus.com to be informed of a future rescheduling.

**Registration deadline: Wednesday, June 17**

This free professional development session will give you the tools to teach and initiate important discussions about the complex lessons of the Holocaust. In exploring classroom-tested strategies that can be implemented in your classroom or informal teaching setting, you will leave with confidence and materials to tackle the tough questions your students have about this subject. The why. The how.

WHAT IS ECHOES & REFLECTIONS?

Echoes & Reflections is the premier source for Holocaust educational materials and dynamic content, empowering teachers and students with the insight needed to question the past and foresight to impact the future. E & R partner with educators to support them, foster confidence, and amplify their skills and resources to teach about the Holocaust in a comprehensive and meaningful way.

PROGRAM GOALS

Through this program, educators will:

1. Explore a sound pedagogy for the planning and implementation of Holocaust education in the classroom;

2. Examine instructional enhancements to support student learning and understanding;

3. Discover and utilize classroom-ready digital assets including lesson plans, visual history testimonies, and additional primary source materials;

4. Enhance personal knowledge about the Holocaust, including the history of antisemitism; and

5. Build confidence and capacity to teach this complex subject.

"The ultimate job of a teacher is to make connections to your students with the curriculum. You want them to walk away with a personal sense of responsibility. Echoes & Reflections helps me do that."

- Social Studies Teacher, Pinebush High School, NY
