This session will explore the new Missouri Holocaust Education Mandate which is required in public and charter schools for grades 6-12. The session will include an overview of effective teaching strategies, access to key resources such as survivor testimonies and historical materials, and time for educators to begin developing or refining their own Holocaust education plans. By the end of the workshop, attendees will be equipped to meet the mandate’s objectives with confidence.

"DBQ-In-A-Day" will focus on ways to utilize bits-and-pieces of a DBQ unit in short one- or two-day lessons. The training will feature various strategies to help students with document analysis and increase writing skills through "DBQ Quick Writes." The goal is for participants to leave with a better sense of how they can utilize the DBQ resources beyond full units, worksheet packets and within their daily instruction.

Join us for a screening of the first installment of Holocaust Composer Stories, a free, digital education program from the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra. Holocaust Composer Stories offers middle and high school social studies and music teachers a new entry point for teaching about the Holocaust. Each story in this series features a composer with a different experience of the Holocaust. Students will listen to their music, hear their stories, and deepen their own understanding of historical events.
Created in partnership with the St. Louis Kaplan Feldman Holocaust Museum.
