2017 Centropa Baltimore Workshop Registration (November 18-19)

Introductory Information

Dear Teachers,

We're pleased to announce our forthcoming seminar, held in partnership with The Jewish Museum of Maryland and the Baltimore City School District, to be held at The Jewish Museum of Maryland, 15 Lloyd Street, Baltimore, November 18-19, 2017:

Saturday, Nov 18: 9:00am to 6:00 pm

Sunday, Nov 19: 8:30 am to 6:30 pm

Immerse yourself in 20th century European Jewish history, digital storytelling, Holocaust education, and conversations about how to make your students globally literate, civic minded critical thinkers. Learning from veteran Centropa educators, you will return to your classes with resources for teaching about the key events of the European 20th century - everything from the Austro-Hungarian empire through WWI and WII, the Holocaust, the rise and fall of Communism, and the disintegration of Yugoslavia. You'll hear from veteran teachers about cross-cultural projects between US and European schools, creative pedagogies using the latest technologies, and student-directed projects that meet state and Common Core standards.

We expect to receive AU authorization so that Baltimore City teachers can receive professional development credit for attending.

We ask anyone interested in attending to complete this registration form. PLEASE NOTE: you need to click on "next" at the end of each page, and then "done" at the end in order for your answers to save. You may start and then return to the registration form using the same device.

We know that teachers and schools often do not have a professional development budget so we do not charge a registration fee for this seminar. If, after registering, you know you will not be able to attend we ask that you kindly let us know by Wednesday, Nov 15, so we can make the appropriate logistical arrangements and adjust the catering order. You can email Lauren Granite at granite@centropa.org.

All participants must bring a laptop or tablet, since we will give you time to create your own lessons and projects, so that you return to your students with ready-made lessons. Please take time before the workshop to identify a specific lesson or unit you would like to work on during the workshop, using Centropa's resources (www.centropa.org).

Please do not hesitate to contact Lauren Granite (granite@centropa.org, 301-787-0052) with any questions.

Thank you.

Best,

Lauren Granite, US Education Director, Centropa

Ilene Dackman-Alon, Director of Education, Jewish Museum of Maryland

Monica Whippo, Social Studies Specialist, Baltimore City Schools
