NC Holocaust Curriculum Review Opportunity    The Gizella Abramson Holocaust Education Act of 2021 legislated the development of curriculum content, a state education department developed elective course, and professional development to support the teaching and learning of the Holocaust and other genocides. The North Carolina Council on the Holocaust, in consultation with the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction (NCDPI), is facilitating the curation of resources and the development of curriculum content and professional development to ensure the intent and provisions of the Gizella Abramson Holocaust Education Act.  The North Carolina Council on the Holocaust and NCDPI are seeking both middle and high school social studies and ELA teachers to participate in the first round of teacher input and feedback on curriculum content that has been developed for 6-12 classrooms.  A total of fifty teachers (twenty-five in each subject area) will be chosen from the eight SBE districts/regions to teach and provide professional feedback on lessons that have been prepared by N.C. middle and high school teachers.     Apply to be one of the fifty teachers that will be chosen. All applications are due by January 31, 2023. More details are in the application, so make sure to apply today.

Adolescent Literacy Overview (Regions 5-8)

The session will assist your team in developing a sustainable, effective Adolescent Literacy framework within your school or PSU.
