Message from ATA Conventions regarding inclement weather and safe travels...

“On the two school days of your assigned teachers’ convention, you have a legal and
professional responsibility to attend Convention. If you are not able to make it safely to your
assigned convention, however, your collective agreement may include impassable roads or
inclement weather clauses that you can access. If your collective agreement does not include
language specific to road conditions or weather, you may make use of the personal leave
clauses of your agreement in most cases. Please be aware that using any of these types of
leave may require you to pay substitute costs, forego a portion of your salary and benefits, or
report to your school or another work location in your district. Refer to your collective
agreement for more information. Should you require any additional information or if you
need assistance interpreting your collective agreement, please contact Teacher Employment
Services at 1-800-232-7208 or 780-447-9400.”

A Wealth of Resources: The Azrieli Foundation’s Holocaust Survivor Memoirs Program

Thursday February 20, 2025 1:00pm - 2:00pm MST

S102 (Cap 24)

In this session, we will walk through all the Azrieli Foundation’s interactive resources and education material, with a focus on The First Step, a guide that can help teachers best prepare themselves prior to teaching about the Holocaust. The First Step helps teachers create a working definition of the Holocaust, a clear rationale statement, find credible sources for information gathering and a sense of the current best practices (the Do’s and Don’t’s) in Holocaust education. We will also present Re:Collection, an educational tool for exploring the history of the Holocaust through firsthand accounts of survivors. This innovative digital resource combines video interviews with memoir excerpts, photos and artifacts, and features interactive timelines and maps to place survivors’ stories in historical and geographic context.
