SUMMARY:Echoes & Reflections | Nurturing Understanding: Holocaust Education in the Primary Classroom
DESCRIPTION:Our webinars are designed to increase participants’ knowledge of Holocaust history\, explore and access classroom-ready content\, and support instructional practice to promote student learning and understanding of this complex history and its lasting effect on the world.\nIntroducing these narratives to primary-age students in age-appropriate ways helps lay an early foundation for empathy\, perspective-taking\, and moral awareness. Their stories offer educators a powerful entry point for teaching difficult histories\, helping students widen their historical lens. Led by USC Shoah Foundation’s Learning and Development Specialist\, Raquel Diaz Serralta\, this session for upper-primary educators (4th-6th grades) focuses on strategies for teaching difficult histories.\nParticipants will explore how story\, music\, and testimony can foster curiosity and compassion while maintaining emotional safety. Drawing on examples from The Willesden Project and informed by the pedagogical framework developed by Echoes & Reflections\, the session highlights adaptable classroom practices and digital tools that support reflection\, inquiry\, and age-appropriate dialogue about resistance\, migration\, and memory.\nThis webinar connects to Upper Elementary Resources and Unit 1 on the Echoes & Reflections website.\nTo register\, click here.&nbsp\;
