SUMMARY:ICS and the Maltz Museum Present: From Exhibits to Classrooms - Teaching the History of European Antisemitism
DESCRIPTION:Where does antisemitism come from? This is a question that students often ask when learning about the Holocaust. The phenomenon of antisemitism is over 2\,000 years old\, yet social studies curricula often do not consider pre-20th century history. \nIn this collaborative workshop\, featuring the Institute for Curriculum Services (ICS) and the Maltz Museum\, teachers will explore primary sources and historical tropes that outline the larger context of antisemitism. We will bridge the gap between museum exhibits and the classroom\, offering the content and tools educators need to help students understand the origins\, persistence\, and modern expressions of this hatred. \nRegister Here \nLearn more about our partner for this session\, the Maltz Museum\, by clicking here.

SUMMARY:Institute for Curriculum Services LVW - Jewish Voices in Early America
DESCRIPTION:In the year of the nation’s 250th anniversary\, join ICS to explore a paradox of the early Republic: the gap between the vision of liberty and the reality of religious exclusion. While the founders championed representative democracy\, many 1776 state constitutions implemented practices that effectively barred Jewish citizens and other religious minorities from holding public office.  \nThis session equips educators with primary source-driven strategies to teach the crucial distinction between religious toleration and true religious liberty. Highlighting primary sources such as Jonas Phillips’ 1787 letter to George Washington\, the session will trace the civic activism of early Jewish Americans that expanded religious liberty.  \nThis is an open workshop\, led by one of our ICS educators\, and is designed for current/future K-12 educators who teach/plan on teaching this content.

SUMMARY:Chancellor's Day Workshop: Teaching the History of the Arab-Israeli Conflict Using Primary Sources
DESCRIPTION: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. \nThe Arab-Israeli conflict remains a deeply sensitive topic\, often viewed through the lens of ancestral\, religious\, or ethnic identities.
