TOLI seminars model innovative, interactive, and experiential teaching methods to support the deepening of classroom practice. Educators hear from Holocaust survivors, scholars, and local experts, participate in field experiences, and learn about the history, traditions, and culture of the Jewish people before and after the Holocaust.
TOLI is recognized as a leader of professional development programs in Holocaust studies and human rights education, offering in-person seminars at no charge to educators. Participants become part of TOLI’s national network of Holocaust educators and are provided with year-round mentoring, programs, and resources.
