Applications for the 2025-2026 Teacher Leadership Holocaust Educator Team are now open, run by the University of Kentucky-Jewish Heritage Fund Holocaust Education Initiative.

Teacher leaders support the initiative by developing and delivering workshops on teaching the Holocaust and Jewish history more broadly to teachers across the Commonwealth.

These workshops are designed to support effectively incorporating the Holocaust and other Jewish history content into social studies, English language arts, humanities, arts and other courses in Kentucky.

For more information, including a link to register, visit the UK Holocaust Education Teacher Leader webpage. Applications are due by March 31 at 5 p.m. ET. Teachers will be compensated $4,000 for their role in the initiative.
