Tolerance/Holocaust/Genocide Education in the Elementary Classroom
May 17th, from 9:00am—4:00pm, Location: Region XI ESC, 3001 North Freeway, Ft. Worth, 76106. Kathy Chapman, from the DHM/CET will present pedagogy, historic background and a curriculum that encourage tolerance, the acceptance of differences, and respect for all people. These activities and materials have been chosen to help the students in grades K—5 be enriched by their pluralistic community instead of feeling threatened by them or prejudiced toward them. This unit will help K- 5 students avoid behaviors that apply to the Eight Stages of Genocide. The primary grades will focus on tolerance, while grade 5(and possibly grade 4) will address some appropriate themes of the Holocaust. Audio visuals and other classroom resources referenced in the unit are provided for each attendee. This workshop is sponsored by the Texas Holocaust and Genocide Commission. Registration is free, but limited of a first-come basis. Up to 6 CPE’s can be earned by attendees. Register by emailing .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address).
