Online Resources
Fear and hate are on the rise in our communities once again, and this can be overwhelming, especially in the midst of tumultuous international events.
It is imperative, therefore, that educators and administrators at all levels have the knowledge and skills necessary to ensure that all members of their educational communities feel safe and valued. To this end, we are gathering educational resources to support students and staff who are affected by the horrific events in Israel and Gaza.

Hard history pedagogy in schools
After a few years of teaching Anne’s diary, I began to examine my teaching practices. As an English teacher, just how much history did I need to include in my unit on Anne and her story? And if I did include some history lessons, what was the most necessary? Did my sixth graders need to understand the political environment of Germany before Hitler’s rise? Surely not. But if not, then how would I explain antisemitism? Where then to begin? I realized that being an English teacher was not an excuse for not properly teaching my students the historical and religious contexts of the Holocaust literature I was introducing them to.
