Free & open to all New Jersey K-12 educators and MSU students!
The Holocaust, Genocide, and Human Rights Education Project at Montclair State University is honored to host a new Echoes & Reflections workshop: Teaching about Genocide.
This workshop is designed to prepare secondary teachers to teach about historical genocides in compassionate and meaningful ways. This is hard -- but vitally important -- work, and in the state of New Jersey educators are required to help students understand genocides including the Holocaust. We're here to help with hands on, engaging lessons you can bring straight to your classroom. Appropriate for beginners and more experienced teachers-- all are welcome, come as you are.
What is genocide? Who were the people before they became victims? How did genocide occur? How do we remember a genocide? In asking these questions about four genocides of the 20th century, the purpose of this program and accompanying teaching material is to encourage critical thinking in students to explore the concept of genocide and analyze some of the common themes seen across multiple genocides. This unit challenges students to find value and meaningful lessons in the study of genocide and how memory and the understanding of genocides of the past can empower them to act against hatred today.
Includes a visit to our special exhibit this fall at Montclair State University: Armenian Genocide: One Family's Story.
Professional Development hours awarded.
