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!
This Chancellor’s Day, join the Institute for Curriculum Services for a virtual workshop that will give you the resources and tools needed to accurately teach the history of the Arab-Israeli conflict within your classroom. The Arab-Israeli conflict remains a deeply sensitive topic, often viewed through the lens of ancestral, religious, or ethnic identities. Because of this complexity, many educators feel hesitant or unprepared to address it. Through the lens of historical documents and critical inquiry, this interactive, 3-hour workshop uses primary sources to analyze the rise of Zionism and Arab Nationalism and to trace pivotal moments in the conflict from the late 1800s through the mid-2000s, including the successes and failures of the peace process as well as unresolved issues. NY Educators: 3 hours of CTLE credit is available for this workshop. This is an open workshop, but registration is required to attend. Register Here!
