To support Holocaust education for middle and high school teachers, the University of Kentucky and Jewish Heritage Fund’s Holocaust Education Initiative is providing a variety of in-person and virtual workshops.

Workshops will be facilitated by experienced teachers from across the Commonwealth trained as UK-JHF Initiative teacher leaders in partnership with faculty and staff from the University of Kentucky, University of Louisville, and Berea College. Each workshop will vary slightly in sessions but will generally include topics such as:

  • Guidelines for teaching the Holocaust;
  • Jewish history in Kentucky;
  • Teaching the Holocaust with survivor stories; and
  • The history of Antisemitism.

Register for the workshops by visiting the University of Kentucky’s Holocaust Education Initiative workshop website.

Teachers, paraeducators, librarians and other instructional staff serving grades 6-12 (of both public and private schools) can opt to participate in these workshops for a stipend of $250 dollars ($25/hour) or for 10 professional development hours. Stipends and spaces are limited, so interested individuals should apply as soon as possible.
