Professional Development

Through this partnership, HERC staff have been trained to deliver Echoes & Reflections’ comprehensive, classroom-ready curriculum to educators across Wisconsin. The program equips teachers with pedagogically sound lessons, primary sources, and survivor testimony to help students examine the history of the Holocaust and reflect on its relevance today. Educators can also explore HERC’s Holocaust Education Map, which offers interactive resources matched to social studies standards. Together, these tools provide flexible options for bringing meaningful Holocaust education into your classroom. Contact us to learn more about professional development opportunities.
