This professional learning series prepares Fresno Unified educators to teach the Holocaust and multiple genocides with historical accuracy, age-appropriate resources, survivor and witness testimony, local history, and inquiry-based instructional practices. Sessions draw on resources and expertise from the USC Shoah Foundation, Echoes & Reflections, the Armenian Museum, genocide survivors, and classroom educators. Participants will examine the Holocaust, Armenian genocide, Uyghur genocide, Bosnian genocide, Jewish partisan resistance, and the use of photography and visual evidence. The course supports CaliforniaHistory-Social Science content and inquiry practices, California's Holocaust and genocide education requirements, and relevant California Standards for the Teaching Profession, including engaging and supporting all students, planning instruction, and developing as a professional educator.
