Teaching Resources

Studying the Holocaust from the early grades
through high school is more a conceptual process than a factual one.
It is the students’ understandings, informed by their classroom
and real-world experiences, which give meaning to the knowledge, attitudes,
values and beliefs with which they come into contact throughout their
K-12 pursuit. A meaningful study of the Holocaust promotes consistent
and cumulative learning from level to level, providing students with
networks that connect knowledge, skills and beliefs.
The study of the
Holocaust should be interdisciplinary and integrated across all of
the disciplines when appropriate. Instruction should be challenging and
suitable
with high expectations about the ability of all students to grasp the
implications of the Holocaust. It demands that teachers adapt instruction
to students in meaningful ways that promote reflective thinking and
decision making. Students should be culturally sensitive and aware of
opposing
points of view. They should also be aware of their responsibility to
promote the common good and their committment to social responsibility
and action.
Learning
about
the
Holocaust is the springboard for moving into learning about other genocides
and human rights violations. Yet, learning about the Holocaust needs
to include the understanding that the Holocaust was a unique event.
We have compiled different types of resources to help you with teaching
students about the history of antisemitism. These resources currently
include lesson plans, and we intend to add other resources soon.
