Our gift to you: NO COST FOR EDUCATORS!!!
With an introduction by Christonya Brown, Coordinator of History and Social Science for the Virginia Department of Education, the conference will emphasize House Bill 2409, established in 2009 mandating that every school division in the Commonwealth has access to teaching materials for Holocaust education, and further support Governor Youngkin’s executive order to establish a commission to combat antisemitism. We will provide participants with immersive, relevant, and thoughtful workshop sessions to learn strategies and deepen your understanding of the Holocaust and other genocides as you teach your students.
From our first educators’ conference in 1996, this will be the Holocaust Commission’s 15th summer conference, providing educators an opportunity to dive into the history and many themes related to the Holocaust, combined with pedagogically sound teaching practices. The Commission offers a variety of programming for teachers and students, and our offerings will be highlighted during the conference.
Echoes & Reflections is an organization committed to “professional learning opportunities and classroom content to equip educators for effective instruction of the Holocaust and resonant themes of today.” The esteemed Jennifer Goss, former master history teacher and current Program Manager for Echoes & Reflections, has coordinated a team of leaders to provide sessions to add to educators’ repertoires in delivering learning experiences and engaging students in meaningful discourse.

8:30 - 9:15 | Opening presentation (for all) (45 minutes)
