Teacher Institute

The annual Teacher Institute, presented by the Ackerman Center for Holocaust Studies at UT Dallas, is a comprehensive exploration into teaching strategies for middle and high school educators. Bringing together experts in the field, this unique learning experience affords teachers the opportunity to gain innovative classroom tools and skills for teaching the Holocaust through the Humanities, English, Social Studies, History, and Geography, as well as providing an opportunity to interface with area educators who are currently implementing these strategies with their students.

The Teacher Institute offers continuing education credit, which is provided to educators in the greater Dallas area free of charge thanks to a generous endowment to the Ackerman Center.
