Facing History and Ourselves Summer Seminar
Philadelphia, PA
Join Facing History for professional development that links history, literature and ethics for educators in U.S. How is history shaped by hatred, indifference, and denial, as well as by caring, compassion, and responsibility? In this seminar we will examine the range of choices that led to the failure of democracy in Germany and ultimately to the persecution of millions of Jews and other targeted groups. How did prejudice and racism destroy democracy and human life?
Participants receive complete access to:
educator resources, including downloadable Common Core-aligned unit and lesson plans, study guides, teaching strategies, and online tools
online lending library of DVDs and books (for all Facing History case studies)
individualized coaching and support from a Facing History staff member
