The seminar will cover a wide variety of topics to help teachers understand not just the events of the Holocaust, but the wider context that allowed it to happen. While the sessions will provide teachers with information, resources, and activities that can easily be incorporated into history and social studies classes, it will also demonstrate how this information can be brought into classes on government, civics, and literature as well.
This seminar has been developed with educators, administrators, other school staff, and pre-service teachers in mind.
This seminar will take place at the Holocaust & Human Rights Center's Michael Klahr Center on the University of Maine campus in Augusta from 8:30am to 4pm on Wednesday, July 10 and Thursday, July 11. Please register only if you are able to the attend the seminar in its entirety.
Participants can receive twelve continuing education credits upon full completion of the seminar.
