Even for experienced teachers of the Holocaust, approaching this subject today may feel especially fraught. Students may have a great deal, or conversely very little, prior knowledge or awareness of the Holocaust; increasingly, they may be exposed to antisemitism locally or online; and tensions emerging from national conversations about book bans and restrictive speech may be affecting parents, teachers, and administrators. Led by Jennifer Lemberg, PhD., and emphasizing inquiry-based, interactive approaches, this session considers how to teach about the Holocaust and antisemitism in the face of these very real challenges. What do we want our students to know? How do we create the best classroom environment for teaching about this subject? And how do we move our students toward taking action in the present? Facilitator: Jennifer Lemberg, PhD, is Associate Director of U.S. Programs for TOLI, where she has helped to lead professional development programs for educators since 2006. In addition to her work with TOLI, Jennifer has taught interdisciplinary seminars, composition, American women's literature, and American Indian literature, and has published essays on Holocaust education, Jewish American literature, graphic novels, and television studies. Her co-edited volume, Becoming a Holocaust Educator: Purposeful Pedagogy Through Inquiry, was published by Teachers College Press and the National Writing Project in 2021. Please Note: Educators participating in the Wednesday evening session will receive 1.5 Act 48 hours. Educators attending BOTH the evening session and the day session will receive a total of 5.5 Act 48 hours.
