ICS provides K-12 educators with free professional

learning and standards-driven resources on Judaism

and Jewish history.

Join ICS for a high-energy session celebrating the 20th anniversary of Jewish American Heritage Month (JAHM). ICS is providing everything you need to make JAHM a sweet addition to your May curriculum! This session begins by exploring why heritage months are vital for fostering a sense of belonging and ensuring historical accuracy. At the heart of the program is our Jewish American identity, history, and experience content, which serves as a master toolkit for discussing any complex identity group. To wrap it up, you’ll receive exclusive access to seven “JAHM-sized” mini-lessons from ICS, designed to be easily integrated into your May schedule for a seamless classroom celebration. NOTE: While stipend funding is no longer available, we hope you find the learning experience both enjoyable and deeply impactful for your instruction. Register Here!

Teaching the Arab-Israeli conflict is a required instructional standard, yet it is often complicated by the unpredictable nature of what students encounter online. Join the Institute for Curriculum Services (ICS) and the Or Initiative for a professional development event that provides a practical roadmap for educators to address social media’s influence on student perception while maintaining a rigorous, inquiry-based approach to the history itself. This is an open workshop, but registration is required to attend. Register Here!
