Professional Development Offered Through EHL Teacher Trainings and Workshops
Our teacher trainings and workshops help you to integrate EHL resources into your lessons while earning Continuing Education Units at the same time. The American Red Cross is an authorized provider of Continuing Education Units through the International Association for Continuing Education and Training (IACET), which are available for half-day workshops or 1, 2 and 3-day trainings. Enroll in a teacher training and get the benefits:
- Walk into a teacher training or workshop and walk out with concrete plans on how to integrate Exploring Humanitarian Law into your current curricula.
- Learn about the array of primary source materials included in the EHL toolkit, including news accounts, testimonials, photos, videos, case studies and interactive projects that will bring real events to life for your students.
Trainings and workshops are led by highly skilled instructors, who are educators with first-hand experience integrating EHL materials into lessons.
Upcoming Opportunities
EHL Teacher Training Institute
The American Red Cross is pleased to offer an Exploring Humanitarian Law Teacher Training Institute to be held August 3-5, 2010 in Washington, DC.
The EHL Institute offers educators from across the United States an engaging, hands-on experience with the Exploring Humanitarian Law (EHL) program. EHL teaches students about respect for human life and dignity, ethical judgment, global citizenship, the protections of the Geneva Conventions and the role of the Red Cross and other humanitarian organizations.
The purpose of this Training Institute is to prepare educators to teach the Exploring Humanitarian Law curriculum effectively in various educational settings. It will also expand public understanding of international humanitarian law (IHL) in the United States. This institute is an exciting professional development opportunity for high school as well as two-year and four-year college faculty, who can obtain 3 Continuing Education Units for the course.
