Requirements:

• Eligible teachers will currently be teaching grades 6-12 in a classroom.
• Eligible teachers must have at least three years of experience teaching the Holocaust and/or other genocides and human rights.
• Beyond the four-day in-person sessions at the Holocaust Center for Humanity, participants will join a year-long cohort, meeting three times via Zoom to share how they have applied their learning in the classroom.
