Overview of Offerings for Educators
Register now for the 2010 Summer Institute for Teaching the Holocaust.
NEW! Teaching materials for Seeking Justice: The Leo Frank Case Revisited. Please register in order to download the teacher's guide, a PowerPoint using sources from the exhibition, and a PDF of the PowerPoint. It is not necessary to use these materials in conjunction with the traveling exhibition; they stand alone as a unit on the Leo Frank case.
The Breman is committed to serving students and teachers from a broad spectrum of schools. We offer: guided class visits; pre- and post-visit curriculum materials; a Holocaust Survivor Speakers Bureau; library resources, including ready-to-use lesson plan packs and videos; and professional development workshops for educators and lifelong learners. All our programs meet Georgia Quality Core Curriculum Standards (QCCS).
The Breman and its Weinberg Center for Holocaust Education also provide informal training opportunities for teachers who are interested in learning more about incorporating Holocaust history or Jewish heritage and ideas into their curricula.
In addition to scheduled teacher-training events, staff development workshops can be arranged for your school or district. Individual teachers are also welcome to consult with us about specific areas of need.
For more information, please contact Dr. Liliane Kshensky Baxter, Director of the Weinberg Center for Holocaust Education at The Breman, at 404-870-1872 or by
e-mail.
