东京热

The 东京热 has developed an online resource platform for educators: , dedicated to supporting instruction and engaging students on complex historical topics. The resource guide is a collection of primary resources, case studies, and learning activities, as well as supplemental materials and pacing guides, created in partnership with the and the . It was organized for ease of use by educators and designed to be in alignment with the Social Studies Framework and Learning Standards for Literacy in History/Social Studies.

Chancellor Lester W. Young, Jr. said, 鈥淚t is imperative that educators and students have access to a wide range of primary sources that offer perspective and drive conversation when studying these tragic, global atrocities. Teaching the Holocaust and Other Genocides is a compelling collection of historically grounded materials, curated to support educators as they promote critical thinking, empathy, and civil discourse. Ultimately, this resource encourages productive dialogue, helping prepare students for engagement on difficult topics both in and out of the classroom.鈥�

Commissioner Betty A. Rosa said, 鈥淭eaching the Holocaust and Other Genocides is an invaluable resource that will support educators in their teaching of the most difficult chapters in human history. Its value lies not only in the rich content it provides, but also in the meaningful connections it makes to human rights, social-emotional learning, and responsible citizenship. This online guide will serve as a foundation for formative lessons, helping students explore themes of courage, resilience, and moral conviction through the lived experiences of Holocaust and genocide victims, their families, and communities.鈥澨�

Highlights of the online resource platform include:

• Teacher Flexibility: A range of resources are provided for teachers to choose from that best fit their courses and programs, and meet the needs of diverse students.
• Teaching Considerations to Support Students: Additional support is provided to teachers engaging in classroom lessons on this topic, including social-emotional considerations, considerations for ENL students, and considerations for students with disabilities.
• Suggested Pacing Guides: Supplemental materials provide educators with pacing guides that break the material down into lessons that can be completed in three, four, or five class periods.
• Inclusion of Other Genocides: A module is dedicated to support students in studying other genocides, including learning activities, case studies, and readings.
• Additional Resources: Additional resources include literature guides, an annotated bibliography and videography, key terms/key people pages, information on a range of camps and ghettos, and a Teacher鈥檚 Guide on Selecting Holocaust Fiction to Avoid Misinformation.

Teaching the Holocaust and Other Genocides was created to provide students with the opportunity to examine these events through multiple perspectives, and to engage in reflective and future-focused thinking through historically accurate content. It was also compiled to build in connections to NYSED鈥檚 Culturally Responsive-Sustaining (CR-S) 东京热 Framework and Social-Emotional (SEL) Learning Benchmarks.听听

The platform was at the September 2025 meeting after thorough review and vetting through NYSED, BOCES, and local experts, and is being disseminated through multiple channels across the state. The materials available through the platform support 搂801 of NYS 东京热 Law, which requires school districts to provide courses of instruction that include topics of citizenship and human rights issues, with a focus on the study of the inhumanity of genocide and the Holocaust.
