2021 VIRTUAL SUMMER INSTITUTE


For 7th-12th Grade Educators

Monday – Friday, July 12 – 16, 2021
9:00 AM-3:00 PM CST

Participants also will attend a virtual evening lecture on July 13, from 6:00 p.m.-7:00 p.m

Through this introductory institute, teachers will begin an investigation into the history of the Holocaust (1933-1945). During this intensive, five-day virtual seminar, participants will become familiar with the content area, literacy-based teaching methods, and resources to teach Holocaust history to their students. The course will include primary source readings, use of historical documents, multimedia presentations, guest speakers, and will draw interdisciplinary connections that align with state and national standards.

Educators will leave a with deeper knowledge of the Holocaust and rich pedagogical resources. The program will enable educators to investigate with their students the ramifications of prejudice, racism, and indifference, and the role of the individual in nurturing and protecting democratic values and human rights.
