Teacher Training

Universities

We welcome visits from a range of subject university groups throughout the year. Please email [email protected] or call 01623 836627 to enquire. Your visit will include access to our two permanent exhibitions, collections of Holocaust objects, survivor testimony and memorial gardens. 

 

Trainee Teachers

This course is designed for teachers that are training to work in primary and secondary schools as well as sixth form colleges. The course provides student teachers with the opportunity to consider the definition of the Holocaust and to explore current pedagogical approaches to teaching the Holocaust. There are opportunities to reflect on existing teaching and to consider best practice when teaching this complex and difficult history in the classroom. 

During the visit student teachers will also be able to explore our resources through educator-led visits to our Journey and Holocaust exhibitions, where we will explain how we use this content to help pupils to develop their knowledge and critical thinking skills. As a result of their visit, student teachers are able to reflect on how our resources can support their classroom delivery. Where possible, we also aim for visiting teachers to listen to a survivor speaker which will assist in furthering their understanding of the importance of survivor testimony in Holocaust education. 

 

CPD

The National Holocaust Museum – Conspiracy Theories and Extremism 

This professional development workshop supports teachers across the country with understanding conspiracy theories and extremism and how they affect young people and school communities. It explores the current political and social landscape, the challenges of digital dialogue and the anatomy and threat of harmful conspiracy theories. Through practical examples, discussion, and classroom-ready strategies, the workshop equips educators with the confidence to address these topics safely, promote critical thinking, and help students navigate misinformation and harmful ideologies. 

This workshop is ideal for schoolteachers, school leaders, and education support staff seeking to better understand and respond to conspiracy theories and extremism in school contexts. It is especially valuable for educators working in digital literacy, humanities, pastoral care, or student wellbeing, as well as anyone supporting young people to navigate online misinformation and harmful ideologies. 

This workshop can be delivered online or in person, either at the museum itself or as outreach to your school. Usually, this workshop would take 1-1.5 hours long. 

The National Holocaust Museum – Conspiracy Theories and Antisemitism 

This professional development workshop supports teachers across the country in understanding conspiracy theories and their connection to antisemitism. It examines how antisemitic ideas have historically shaped conspiracy narratives, how these ideas persist and adapt today—particularly online—and why they can resonate with young people. Through practical examples, guided discussion, and classroom-ready approaches, the workshop equips educators with the confidence to challenge misinformation, address antisemitism safely and sensitively, and foster critical thinking and inclusive school environments. 

This workshop is ideal for schoolteachers, school leaders, and education support staff who want to better understand and address conspiracy theories and antisemitism in educational settings. It is particularly valuable for educators working with young people in online, media literacy, humanities, or wellbeing contexts, or anyone seeking practical, classroom-ready strategies. 

This workshop can be delivered online or in person, either at the museum itself or as outreach to your school. Usually, this workshop would take 1-1.5 hours long.
