Intrepid Museum Education

Upcoming Programs:

Black Voices: Advocacy for Inclusion in World War II
Two-credit P Credit Course (30 hours) for NYC 8th-12th grade teachers
July 24 - 28, 9:00 am - 4:00 pm

A diverse cross-section of Americans participated in World War II on the battlefield and on the home front. Yet too many stories are still underrepresented. This course aims to examine the World War II experience through multiple narratives and perspectives, offering teachers a chance to develop a classroom practice which connects and empowers all learners to these events through parallel experiences.
The goals for the course are for participants to increase:

Knowledge of the diverse experiences and perspectives of people who participated in the
Pacific Theater and on the home front.
Level of experience using oral histories, particularly in amplifying marginalized voices.
Confidence in the development of more equitable practices for all students.
Ability to apply principles of culturally responsive teaching and civil dialogue to the study of
World War II.
Skills in integration of historical and contemporary resources and research that reflect and
center the experiences and perspectives of non-dominant racial and cultural groups.
Skills in designing real-life connections between classroom content and students’ lives
and experiences, while also building student capacity to identify and question underlying
personal and institutional beliefs, norms, practices and assumptions that contribute to inequity.

All participants must first register through ASPDP before registering with the Intrepid Museum. The registration fee for the Museum is $75.00, separate from the ASPDP fee.
