Educators will receive certification of contact hours. Reimbursement for substitute pay is available.

Educators who attend this workshop will:

▪ Receive educational resources including the book The World Must Know from the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum

▪ Acquire more effective teaching strategies aligned with the Georgia Performance Standards

▪ Realize the importance of nurturing and protecting democratic values and institutions

▪ Return to their classrooms with knowledge and resources to assist students in understanding the ramifications of prejudice, racism and stereotyping
