Contextualizing the Holocaust *IN PERSON* facilitated by Liz Burns Taormina – 8:30-2:30pm

This day-long workshop offers support to teachers through content knowledge, teaching strategies, and ready-to-use instructional materials. Holocaust education is integral to learning, but students often lack a clear picture of how antisemitism developed, long before the Holocaust took place. Moreover, students may develop a limited view of Jewish history that focuses only on the Holocaust and does not encompass the richness of Jewish identity and contributions, particularly to life in the US. This workshop equips participants to teach about the complex ancient origins of antisemitism, the development of various forms through history, and the contemporary manifestations of these historical forms. The workshop concludes with an exploration of Jewish identity today. By exploring the diverse experiences of American Jews, Jewish American history, and Jewish American contributions to life in the United States, participants will have additional tools to teach the Holocaust in the context of both the history of antisemitism and the broader history of the Jewish people. Eligible for 6 hours CTLE credit. Can use 1 consortium seat. If district pays, district approved must be confirmed prior to start of session.
