The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum’s Teacher Fellowship Program is designed to immerse participants in advanced historical and pedagogical issues relating to the Holocaust. What does the fellowship offer? Join the program’s exclusive national corps of skilled teachers who serve as leaders in Holocaust education in their schools, communities, and professional organizations. This year, up to 20 Museum teacher fellows will be selected to participate in the Pines, Sarna, Statfeld Summer Institute, a five-day program at the Museum in Washington, DC, on July 17–21, 2016. All expenses for travel and living accommodations are included. After the intensive summer program, fellows return home and create outreach projects to advance Holocaust education in their communities. In July 2017, fellows attend a follow-up program at the Museum to assess their progress and continue their Holocaust studies.
