Lookstein Center's Virtual Bootcamp: The Essential of Jewish History Instruction

Join The Lookstein Center's Virtual Bootcamp: The Essential of Jewish History Instruction, beginning this June!

Memory is a critical part of our tradition, and also a powerful educational force as it provides an emotional, personal connection to the past. The academic study of history, on the other hand, is the reconstruction of the past based on factual evidence and primary sources. This bootcamp explores the relationship between memory and history, best practices in Jewish history instruction, and student-centered approaches. Hands-on workshops make up the bulk of the training program and give teachers the skills and tools they need in order to teach Jewish history in an engaging and creative way.

Program participants will explore and workshop:

• Historical themes and significant trends in Jewish history
• Using primary and secondary sources
• Teaching with artifacts/arts
• Teaching historical thinking
• Using maps, timelines, and other tools effectively
• Teaching from multiple perspectives and through different lenses
