Sybil Cohen hopes to develop art projects that pertain specifically to the Holocaust after taking the courses
Washington Township High School art teacher and National Art Honor Society advisor Sybil Cohen was selected to attend the Master Teacher Institute for Holocaust Education from June 26 to 30 at Rutgers University. Cohen will be enrolled in the summer course, The History of the Holocaust, through a sponsorship by the Herbert and Leonard Littman Families Holocaust Resource Center at Rutgers.
The MTI in Holocaust Education is a dynamic, advanced training designed to develop expert teachers in Holocaust studies who will serve as resource providers in their schools, districts and communities. The Institute engages teachers in a wide-ranging study of the history of the Holocaust and its remembrance, and addresses the complex, methodological issues involved in teaching about the subject.
“I am really looking forward to attending this seminar,” Cohen said. “I hope that I can develop art projects, within various art courses, that pertain specifically to the Holocaust.”
