Event Description:
The rise in antisemitic incidents is alarming, especially in K-12 schools. But you’re not alone. Join us for a laid-back coffee gathering where we’ll dive into the challenges and rewards of teaching the Holocaust and other genocides.
This isn’t your typical PD session—think of it as a casual meetup with fellow educators who are as dedicated as you are. Whether you’re looking for new strategies, facing challenges in the classroom, or simply want to chat with others who get it, this is the place to be.
Let’s share our best practices, discuss how to foster thoughtful dialogue among students, and ensure these important lessons aren’t just taught but truly understood and remembered. Bring your questions, your insights, and your passion for teaching history that matters.
Who Should Attend: Teachers, educators, and school administrators at all levels interested in deepening their knowledge and pedagogy around Holocaust and genocide education.
This is a safe, welcoming space for professional growth, connection, and collaboration.
