On March 28 we hosted over 15 educators from Mercer County and northern New Jersey at our Echoes and Reflections Workshop. Hosted by Jerry Clark, this seminar on the 21st Century Holocaust curriculum developed by the ADL, in conjunction with Yad Vashem and the Shoah Foundation, reinvigorated our attendees with fresh material and insightful perspectives. If you are an educator seeking a strong multimedia resource to bring Holocaust-related education into your classroom, you need Echoes & Reflections. Check it out online today!
Just this week we hosted educators from across the state at our War Horse workshop. This multifaceted interactive experience included a series of presentation by MCCC education majors who tackled the book for audiences grades K-4 as well as insights from our own Co-Director/MCCC Education Professor Elizabeth DeGiorgio and Advisory Commission member/High School Guidance Counselor & Peer Leader Lisa O'Neill. Stay tuned to the blog for resources, including lesson plans, discussed at the workshop!
