State of Florida Commissioned Teacher Training Resource Manuals
The State of Florida Department of Education commissioned the Center to write the first statewide resource manuals on Holocaust studies for grades, K-3, 4-6 and 9-12. These manuals, plus the manuals for grades 7-8, have been distributed to all private, public and parochial schools in the state of Florida.
They are available to teachers in CD-ROM form and can also be downloaded here for educational use.
HDEC has also compiled the following resources for Teachers: Bibliography, Filmography and Webography.
