Description: |
Long Island Satellite Seminar of the Holocaust Educators Network at the Holocaust Memorial and Tolerance Center of Nassau County in Glen Cove, Nassau County, Long Island, New York.
How do teachers address the issues of today's world in ways that help them and their students make appropriate connections to the curriculum?
Our inaugural Long Island seminar will focus on the lessons and legacies of the Holocaust and how they apply to students' decision-making about social justice issues in their world today. We believe strongly that every student has the potential to make a positive difference in their communities.
This five-day seminar is designed to extend each participant's current knowledge of the Holocaust and encourage new and innovative ways to teach this history. We will include writing activities, lesson plan development, survivor and 2nd generation testimony, and time in the HMTC museum galleries to explore the history of the Holocaust, before, during and after the war. Participants in this seminar will be introduced to a variety of literary and film resources, and all will leave with a variety of teaching materials and strategies, many aligned to common core standards.
