• What is Facing History and Ourselves (FHAO)?
Facing History and Ourselves is a national educational and professional development organization whose mission is to engage students of diverse backgrounds in an examination of racism, prejudice and anti-Semitism in order to promote the development of a more humane and informed citizenry.
In this intensive professional development program, a small group of teachers (maximum of 30) will confront the moral questions inherent in a study of violence, racism, and anti-Semitism, as well as courage, caring and compassion. Participants engage in discussions with staff members, scholars, and speakers, connecting the events of history to those of today. Most importantly, participants discover how to help their students to discover those connections.
The FHAO Summer Seminar is open to public, private, and parochial middle and high school teachers who are employed by schools located in New Haven and the Greater New Haven area. Enrollment is limited to 30 participants. If more than 20 educators apply, potential participants will be placed on a waiting list.
The Summer Seminar is free of charge for teachers in the Greater New Haven area. However, a $75 refundable deposit is required from all participants to hold their places in these Seminars. Checks will be returned to those who participate in the Seminar, but will not be returned if enrollees decide not to attend. A light breakfast and lunch is provided to Institute participants each day.
Yes. CEUs will be awarded to those who attend the entire Seminar.
No. All participants must attend each day for the entire session and participate in the on-line learning.
The Institute will be closed as soon as 30 teachers have enrolled. You are encouraged to enroll as soon as possible.
