ED645 Teaching the Holocaust & Genocide

Course will enable teachers to apply the knowledge gained about the Holocaust and genocide in developing a teachable curriculum unit, in various subject areas (i.e. social studies, language arts, art, music), with appropriate goals and outcomes, strategies, and resources for classroom use with students in meeting the New Jersey mandate for K-12 Holocaust/genocide education. Curriculum should facilitate student knowledge of the Holocaust and genocide as well as on reducing prejudice, discrimination, bullying, and scapegoating. Focus will be on character education and the importance of being an “upstander” instead of a “bystander”. Prerequisite: ED615, ED635
