Recognize the Stages: Shape the Future

Exploring Stages of Genocide to Foster Student Agency and Strengthen School Communities

LACOE, The Teachers Collaborative for Holocaust and Genocide Education and the California Department of  Education invite educators to explore how division, rhetoric, and patterns of exclusion can escalate into some of history’s greatest human tragedies. Through immersive learning experiences at local museums and cultural centers, engaging discussions, and virtual case studies, participants will examine the Ten Stages of Genocide across multiple historical and contemporary contexts. Participants will also explore the power of education to foster empathy, critical thinking and civic engagement. Educators will be encouraged to apply these learnings to recognize patterns of exclusion, dehumanization and bias within their own school communities and identify opportunities to promote positive change, belonging and student empowerment.
