With the successful completion of this 2 1/2 day in person class and its requirements, your school division may allow you to apply for up to 45 recertification points. Sessions focus on the Holocaust’s historical background and pedagogy which link to the Virginia Standards of Learning requirements. You will hear historian-led lectures and learn about best practices and resources that you can use in the classroom when teaching the Holocaust. Educators will have opportunities to explore and interact with Museum resources.

From Context to Classroom Part I is open to teachers who have never completed the Alexander Lebenstein Teacher Education Institute. To complete class requirements, you must fully participate, which includes pre-reading and the use of the online platform Canvas and a final project. A certificate of completion, the $200 stipend and the reimbursement of the $30 registration fee will be sent to you after the class and when all requirements are met.
