Teaching the Holocaust
A professional development morning for Texas K-12 teachers
Friday, June 19 | 8:30-11:30am
Tickets: $20
About This Professional Development Opportunity
Some subjects ask more of a teacher than others. The Holocaust is one of them.
Holocaust Stories: Survivors’ Voices is a professional development morning built around one question: how do we teach the weight of this history in a way young people can carry?
Through visual art and the lens of survivor stories, this session offers Texas K-12 teachers new perspectives and classroom-ready approaches for one of the most challenging subjects in any curriculum. The morning is designed for teachers of every grade level and every discipline, with insights that translate just as readily to a 4th-grade reading classroom as to a high school history elective.
What You Will Take Away
