A Multimedia Framework for Teaching the Holocaust 

Location: Century City, Los Angeles (address provided upon registration)
February 3, 2017
8:30 am – 3:30 pm

Teachers are encouraged to register for session three of  ADL’s 2016-17 Los Angeles Holocaust Education Institute. There will be a $50 stipend for participating teachers. Attendance at Sessions One and Two is not a prerequisite.  This is a stand-alone training.

Session Three will include hands-on training on Echoes and Reflections: Leaders in Holocaust Education and  IWitness, an online resource developed by the USC Shoah Foundation that provides access to more than 1,500 video testimonies of Holocaust survivors and other witnesses.  This website offers students a deeper understanding of 20th century history and an opportunity to learn 21st century digital and media skills. This session will be on Friday, February 3, 2017 in Century City, Los Angeles..

Spanning most of the school year, the Institute brings together museum-based resources, curricula, pedagogical expertise, and dynamic presenters through three full-day sessions. The Holocaust Education Institute brings together the finest Holocaust education resources from ADL; the Los Angeles Museum of the Holocaust; the Museum of Tolerance, the USC Shoah Foundation, and Yad Vashem.  Sessions One and Two included visits to both local museums.

According to ADL Associate Regional Director Matthew Friedman, who coordinates the Institute, “Because ADL and our partners so strongly believe in the importance of Holocaust education, this year, qualifying educators who attend an entire session may apply for a $50 personal stipend and for their schools to receive up to $150 in substitute teacher reimbursement.” Funding is limited; both the stipend and reimbursement are available on a first-come, first-served basis. There is a $20 registration fee for all sessions.

All sessions include a meal, materials and parking. Additionally, Continuing Education Units (CEUs) will be available for a small extra fee for Session Three.

For more information or to register, please visit www.adl.org/laholocaustinstitute, call ADL at 310-446-8000, or email LA@adl.org. Advance registration is required and space is limited.
