SUMMARY:Institute for Curriculum Services LVW - Teaching About Judaism
DESCRIPTION:This workshop provides educators with a comprehensive\, culturally responsive framework for teaching about Judaism—a model designed to be adaptable for instruction on any world religion. By framing religion through the interconnected lenses of belief\, behavior\, and belonging\, participants will move beyond surface-level facts to examine the lived experiences and diverse systems of the Jewish faith.  \nThrough interactive\, model activities\, attendees will explore how to integrate these concepts into their classrooms in ways that foster deep religious awareness and mitigate misinformation. Ultimately\, this session aims to equip educators with the tools to cultivate mutual respect and tolerance among students of all backgrounds\, preparing them to engage thoughtfully in a pluralistic world. \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: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: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.

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.
