Opportunities for Professional Development at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum: http://www.ushmm.org/
This letter was sent to me to share with all of you.
The Division of Education of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum seeks to train the nation’s teachers to encourage their students to learn about the Holocaust, to reflect on its meaning for today, and then to act responsibly as members of the national and global community.
Currently our programs, both in Washington, DC and around the country, reach thousands of educators every year. In an effort to extend our national outreach in education even further and to nurture new audiences, I would like to invite you to share some information with teachers who serve the communities in your state.
Having taught for 30 years in Arizona, I have seen the power of using the Holocaust as course content in middle and high school history, social studies and English classes.
We offer two workshops that may be of interest to teachers who serve students in your state. Both the workshop and conference are free of charge and include many free classroom resources. Not only that, but participants in our programs are also able to form a connection to our Museum that will continue to grow throughout their careers.
The Arthur and Rochelle Belfer National Conference for Educators: For teachers with less than five years’ experience in teaching about the Holocaust. Participants are responsible for their travel expenses.
The Museum Teacher Fellowship Program: A conference for teachers with more than five years’ experience in teaching about the Holocaust. An all expenses paid conference that develops leaders in Holocaust education. The application process is highly-competitive.
More information and applications are available on our website: www.ushmm.org/education/foreducators/.
I have attached flyers in PDF format for both programs.
I appreciate anything you can do to help promote these programs to the teachers who serve students in your state. Your assistance will help us take the Museum’s message --- of our responsibility to remember the past, to respect our fellow human beings, and to build a better future for our children --- outside of our walls and into our nation’s communities.

Annenberg Media information on recent current events:
On September 27, the U.S. House of Representatives approved a "detainee bill," which, if signed into law, would allow the military to interrogate and prosecute terror suspects.
"Ethics in America" http://learner.org/redirect/october/ethic1.htm
Programs 6 and 7, "Under Orders, Under Fire" Parts 1 and 2, explore issues related to war ethics, such as the use of military tribunals and dealing with enemy combatants. General Brent Scowcroft, news correspondent Mike Wallace, Chaplain Timothy Tatum, and Reverend J.
Bryan Hehir are among the distinguished discussants.
Equally relevant is "The Constitution: That Delicate Balance"
http://learner.org/redirect/october/const2.html; in particular, see Program 4, "Criminal Justice and a Defendant's Right to a Fair Trial," and Program 6, "Crime and Punishments."
Teachers at any grade level would benefit from "Social Studies in Action: A Teaching Practices Library, K-12"
http://learner.org/redirect/october/sslib3.html Program 31, "Dealing With Controversial Issues." Find coordinated materials http://learner.org/redirect/october/sslib4.html on the series Web site.
We The People
All high school students in West Virginia will have an opportunity to compete in a simulated Congressional hearing to display their knowledge of the Constitution, the United Stated government and the important roles citizens should play in our democracy today. http://www.civiced.org/wethepeople.php?link=hearing
Preparation for the competition involves studying We The People, The Citizen and the Constitution, writing a group essay and then answering questions from a panel of judges.
Participation in this program develops skills essential for active citizenship, speaking, critical thinking and group cooperation.
Get started for your students by contacting Jennie Shaffer: jennieshaffer1415@hotmail.com phone: 304 788 5813 address: 1415 Cornell Street in Keyser, West Virginia 26726.
Global Warming :
Dear Global Educators:
I really appreciate your help in letting schools know about Global Warming Student Speakout. This project gives students a chance to collectively brainstorm strategies for fighting global warming -- and have their ideas published in a full-page ad in The Washington Post. We hope this simple project, which should take only a few hours to complete, helps educators test the waters with software for online collaboration - and helps students learn about the environment and civic participation.
Deadline Nov 2,2006. You may sign up at: http://www.google.com/educators/globalwarming.html

Opportunities for Professional Development at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum: http://www.ushmm.org/
This letter was sent to me to share with all of you.
The Division of Education of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum seeks to train the nation’s teachers to encourage their students to learn about the Holocaust, to reflect on its meaning for today, and then to act responsibly as members of the national and global community.
Currently our programs, both in Washington, DC and around the country, reach thousands of educators every year. In an effort to extend our national outreach in education even further and to nurture new audiences, I would like to invite you to share some information with teachers who serve the communities in your state.
Having taught for 30 years in Arizona, I have seen the power of using the Holocaust as course content in middle and high school history, social studies and English classes.
We offer two workshops that may be of interest to teachers who serve students in your state. Both the workshop and conference are free of charge and include many free classroom resources. Not only that, but participants in our programs are also able to form a connection to our Museum that will continue to grow throughout their careers.
The Arthur and Rochelle Belfer National Conference for Educators: For teachers with less than five years’ experience in teaching about the Holocaust. Participants are responsible for their travel expenses.
The Museum Teacher Fellowship Program: A conference for teachers with more than five years’ experience in teaching about the Holocaust. An all expenses paid conference that develops leaders in Holocaust education. The application process is highly-competitive.
More information and applications are available on our website: www.ushmm.org/education/foreducators/.
I have attached flyers in PDF format for both programs.
I appreciate anything you can do to help promote these programs to the teachers who serve students in your state. Your assistance will help us take the Museum’s message --- of our responsibility to remember the past, to respect our fellow human beings, and to build a better future for our children --- outside of our walls and into our nation’s communities.

Annenberg Media information on recent current events:
On September 27, the U.S. House of Representatives approved a "detainee bill," which, if signed into law, would allow the military to interrogate and prosecute terror suspects.
"Ethics in America" http://learner.org/redirect/october/ethic1.htm
Programs 6 and 7, "Under Orders, Under Fire" Parts 1 and 2, explore issues related to war ethics, such as the use of military tribunals and dealing with enemy combatants. General Brent Scowcroft, news correspondent Mike Wallace, Chaplain Timothy Tatum, and Reverend J.
Bryan Hehir are among the distinguished discussants.

We The People
All high school students in West Virginia will have an opportunity to compete in a simulated Congressional hearing to display their knowledge of the Constitution, the United Stated government and the important roles citizens should play in our democracy today. http://www.civiced.org/wethepeople.php?link=hearing
Preparation for the competition involves studying We The People, The Citizen and the Constitution, writing a group essay and then answering questions from a panel of judges.
Participation in this program develops skills essential for active citizenship, speaking, critical thinking and group cooperation.
Get started for your students by contacting Jennie Shaffer: jennieshaffer1415@hotmail.com phone: 304 788 5813 address: 1415 Cornell Street in Keyser, West Virginia 26726.
Global Warming :
Dear Global Educators:
I really appreciate your help in letting schools know about Global Warming Student Speakout. This project gives students a chance to collectively brainstorm strategies for fighting global warming -- and have their ideas published in a full-page ad in The Washington Post. We hope this simple project, which should take only a few hours to complete, helps educators test the waters with software for online collaboration - and helps students learn about the environment and civic participation.
Deadline Nov 2,2006. You may sign up at: http://www.google.com/educators/globalwarming.html
