TRANSFORM YOUR CLASSROOM!
Renew your commitment to growing and learning; bring content and methodology into your classroom that will engage and transform your students; enjoy the flexible professional development opportunity afforded by taking an online course.
Take Facing History and Ourselves’ online course, "Holocaust and Human Behavior,"and gain full access to our in-depth professional development services, curricular resources, and ongoing support to educators in the areas of history, social studies, and English language arts.
By using the Holocaust as a case study, we raise profound moral questions about the consequences of our actions and our beliefs, and we help our students make connections between history and the moral choices they make every day. While the Holocaust was a unique event in human history, the questions remain universal.
Learn key strategies, such as how to:
Create a safe environment in your classroom based on trust and respect for different views and opinions;
Facilitate discussions around controversial topics;
Take an interdisciplinary approach to teaching this difficult history.
Course students also have the honor of participating in a conference call with a survivor of the Holocaust.
