Warren Fellowship for Future Educators
The School of Education, in conjunction with the Warren Fellowship for Future Educators and the Holocaust Museum Houston, has launched a fellowship program called The Holocaust: Lessons for the Classroom.
The fellowship is designed to help future teachers bring the lessons of the Holocaust into the classroom. The program has openings for 20 students, who must be enrolled in a School of Education school placement during the 2009 spring semester.
The students will take part in an intensive six-day institute (in January) at the Holocaust Museum Houston in Texas. Through a series of lectures and discussions, nationally recognized Holocaust scholars, university faculty and Holocaust survivors will provide the historical and pedagogical context for understanding the Holocaust and its implications for contemporary society.
The Warren Fellowship for Future Teachers was made possible by a gift from Holocaust survivor Naomi Warren and her family. The application process for 2009-10 is available here.
