Teaching, Learning, and the Holocaust An Integrative Approach [Paperback]

Classroom study of the Holocaust evokes strong emotions in teachers and students. Teaching, Learning, and the Holocaust assesses challenges and approaches to teaching about the Holocaust through history and literature. Howard Tinberg and Ronald Weisberger apply methods and insights of the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning to examine issues in interdisciplinary teaching, with a focus on the community college setting. They discuss student learning and teacher effectiveness and offer guidance for teaching courses on the Holocaust, with relevance for other contexts involving trauma and atrocity.

This is a book that I will unhesitatingly recommend to all teachers interested in pushing disciplinary boundaries and enhancing students learning perspective through integrating multiple viewpoints. This is a journey worth taking. 2.2 2014
