Holocaust Education Month 2022 Teachers’ Workshop, November 17, 5:00pm
CHES’ annual Teachers’ Workshop is open to teachers in all Ottawa school boards and is promoted throughout Ontario. The focus on modern antisemitism is clearly essential. The 2023 workshop will be facilitated by Avi Posen of Unpacked for Educators, who was well received by teachers and staff from the Ottawa-Carleton District School Board during our 2021 webinars, Unpacking Complexity in the Classroom.
The 2023 workshop will examine the facts and language of antisemitism and will suggest ways for teachers to recognize discrimination. It will touch on how to diffuse situations of escalation and how to engage in these conversations. Creating safe spaces is our goal for all students with a focus on Jewish students as a priority.
