2012 Summer Institutes for Secondary Educators

(7th – 12th grade & community college):

COMING AGAIN IN 2014! 

 Be inspired this summer at the Illinois Holocaust Museum & Education Center, as you join colleagues from across the country and Europe for an introductory study of the Holocaust, genocide, and human rights. Attend one of our week-long institutes to develop the skills needed to improve and enhance classroom instruction of the Holocaust, genocide and human rights in alignment with the Illinois Holocaust and Genocide Education Mandate.
