Morning Workshops
Choose from three simultaneous workshops
You don’t have to pick a workshop when you register. You may attend whichever you want on event day.
Workshop #1 – Teaching the Holocaust: digitally recovering the victims’ voice and challenging student assumptions through primary sources
Marion Miller Gallery 10:20 – 11:20 am (workshop timeslot)
Live Notes document »
This workshop will explore Experiencing History: Jewish Perspectives on the Holocaust — an innovative digital resource tool that features contextualized annotated and translated Jewish primary sources — as a platform for active student learning and engagement around the teaching of difficult histories. Rather than predetermining a “lesson” that any given students should learn — or providing a prefabricated lesson plan from which an instructor should teach — this tool leverages the digital medium in order to show students how complex and messy these sources — and the motivations of the people who created them — can be. Our initial data—culled from the tool’s 2017-2018 beta launch—demonstrates the type of critical thinking that this type of tool instigates. Leah Wolfson and Emil Kerenji will discuss these initial findings while inviting the audience to think with us about the questions and issues raised by teaching this material in this way and at this time to a new generation of students, teachers, and scholars.
Workshop #2 – Local History & Students: Archives as a Catalyst for Building Research Skills, Historical Perspective & Awareness
Fred and Suzanne Fields Ballroom (FRONT half only) 10:20 – 11:20 am (workshop timeslot)
Live Notes document »
Archives help us see ourselves and our communities through the lens of history; they allow us to understand our place in the world around us through the context of people and events that have previously inhabited our space. Learn how Brooklyn Connections, the award-winning school outreach arm of Brooklyn Public Library’s local history archive, helps 4th – 12th grade students build research skills while making curricular connections between major historical themes and the stories that have and continue to unfold in their local communities. Program Manager Kaitlin Holt will provide a brief introduction to Brooklyn Connections’ model with an emphasis on sample lessons the program has employed with students.
Workshop #3 – Teaching Social Justice through Visual Art
Sondland/Durant Trustee Room 10:20 – 11:20 am (workshop timeslot)
Live Notes document »
Educators and students across grades and disciplines are increasingly integrating social justice and racial equity into their courses. How can art museums participate in this process? This workshop explores how visual art and art museums support critical thinking and conversation about race and social justice. Join Hana Layson, Manager of School and Educator Programs, for a discussion of teaching strategies and resources developed at the Portland Art Museum. Along the way, we’ll hone our close-looking skills, consider artwork as a primary source, and share experiences across cultural institutions. (Workshop may include time in the galleries.)
