Individuals like Emily Bernstein and institutions such as the Holocaust Center of Pittsburgh are what allow educators to truly take their their teaching, and in turn, their student's learning, to the next level.  We don't always have the resources to teach the best lessons possible. We don't always have the ideas. We don't always have the connections. But someone does! Emily Bernstein is the Education Outreach Associate at the Holocaust Center of Pittsburgh. Her mission, led through the Holocaust Center, is to support schools far and wide in their goal to teach about the Holocaust in the most engaging and effective way. They have done it for me and I know they can do it for you. Emily teaches us how networking with fellow educators and organizations online and locally can open up perspectives, ideas, methods, and resources that you never thought of using in your classroom. She shares how educators can teach about the Holocaust in any content area and provides ample resources to make the process as easy as possible for novice and advanced teachers alike. Teaching about the Holocaust is an incredibly important responsibility as educators and it's something that we have to tread through carefully. It is a sensitive subject and can be quite intimidating to teach and do justice, but Emily Bernstein and the Holocaust Center of Pittsburgh offer their vast knowledge, resources, and connections to make the transition into teaching about this subject-area easy. I encourage those of you interested in teaching about the Holocaust, those of you who want to teach about the subject on a deeper level, or those of you who simply want to learn more about it personally to reach out to Emily and the Holocaust Center using the links below.

“There were really only four ways a Jew could hope to survive the Holocaust. You could hope to survive in the concentration camps. You could escape the country or escape the ghetto and live in the forest. You could be hidden out of sight by a christian person or family. The fourth way was to change your identity, obtain false papers, pretend to be catholic, and try to blend into society. And that is how we survived.” Those words come from Holocaust survivor, Irene Skolnick. This past fall, Irene visited our school, PA Distance Learning Charter School, to speak to our students about her life in hiding during the Holocaust. As our school's History of the Holocaust teacher, I see it as my responsibility to bring their learning experiences to life the best I can. Many of our PA Distance students and families traveled across the state to be there for the event, showing just how important learning about the Holocaust from a true survivor was for them.  Irene and her family were forced to lie about their identities and purchase forged passports, just to narrowly avoid being captured or identified countless times throughout the war. Her words sounded like the script of a spy film. Countless times, she and her family, evaded capture, either through the wit and charisma of her father, the quick thinking of her mother, or just plain luck.  Irene states that for decades, she never wanted to share her story. But there came a day that she changed her mind, for two reasons. The first, because of the growth of deniers. The living record of the Holocaust is dying as survivors pass away, and she sees it as her responsibility to speak the truth of what the Nazis did to her. The second, due to the truth behind the words of the well known pastor, Martin Niemöller, transcribed into the poem called First They Came... and her summary of the poem - “bad things happen, when good people are silent”.  Irene Skolnick is the author of In the Shadow of Majdanek: Hiding in Plain Sight. This autobiography details her experiences during the Holocaust even further and you can download her story for free on Kindle! I was able to connect with Irene thanks to the Holocaust Center of Pittsburgh.

Humans of Teaching seeks to display how great teaching isn't something that is contained in a traditional classroom. Rather, it can be found anywhere great teachers can be found. Josh Peters of College Park MMA shows us exactly that in our episode today. After years of working consistent 17 hour days, teaching elementary school students and then training clients in the various fields of martial arts on the side, Josh was exhausted. Something had to give. He had to make the decision of whether to stay as an elementary school teacher and give up training and coaching, or the reverse, but no matter the choice, Josh wouldn’t be giving up on his passion and devotion for teaching. It was with that realization that College Park MMA was born. In Josh’s interview, he walks us through the history, philosophies, and training routines for the three main styles of martial arts that he teaches at his school - Brazilian jiu-jitsu, Sanda, and mixed martial arts. When asked of his teaching philosophy for training his clients, he says “It is the same as when I was a classroom teacher. My first job is to build a rapport with each and every student and understand what their goals are.” Josh sees that great teaching doesn’t have a fixed setting, and that he is going to put his students in the driver’s seat, to learn through action, no matter who they are or where they are.

At just fourteen years old, a young girl turned a passion of hers into a thriving profession. To Ashley Priore, founder and CEO of The Queen’s Gambit Chess Institute, chess isn’t just a game, it’s a model for life. She sees each and every move as a reflection of how we should live our lives; how we need to focus on patience when making decisions and how we should look into the future to see how our current actions may affect us down the road.  Ashley emphasizes in her interview that, “your zip code should not determine your opportunities”, and her actions within the institute truly reflect this statement. Her team has worked in developing “Chess Theory”, or, the act of helping communities develop through chess. Through various outreach projects and collaborations with other initiatives in the area, the Queen’s Gambit has led hundreds of events to teach the youth of the Pittsburgh area how to play chess, and instill within them the lifelong lessons that the game provides. Ashley is working to ensure that every person has access to the game, no matter where they live or their current socio-economic situation.  Ashley feels that you can’t mend a struggling community by putting bandage after bandage on it. Instead, we should be focusing on supporting and educating the communities from the inside out, and chess is her way of doing that. In just the five years since its inception, The Queen’s Gambit has grown to teaching over 300 students and has partnered with over 50 organizations, and Ashley isn’t stopping until the positive impacts of chess can be spread state-wide and nation-wide.

In traditional public school education, religion and teaching are kept apart. In Humans of Teaching however, we are able to gain insight on how those who lead within different religious faiths teach others.  In this episode, we are joined by Father Jeff Murph, long-time rector of St. Thomas Church, mentor of training seminaries, and preacher of the Christian faith. During the interview, I was amazed at how similar Jeff’s methods in teaching and preparing for his services and sermons were to how many teachers plan their lessons and classrooms. He puts an emphasis on connecting his messages to historical as well as personal events that his listeners can connect to and understand. He focuses on the importance of preparation for all aspects of his teaching, from the large services, to small group classes, to one-on-one counseling.  Father Murph shares that the messages he preaches are useful to those who are religious and those who aren’t. Jeff discusses stories and accounts of deeply flawed people who, in his own words, “screw up over and over and over again”. In an age where often if you made a mistake or blunder it destroys your reputation, he states that the Bible shows us that we should give second chances and see others by what they can still do, not by what their mistakes are.

After years traveling the globe with classes of students to fascinating, historical places, Ron Kotwica chose to make one of the hardest decisions of his life - to leave behind his planned career of being a physical education teacher and turn his side hustle into a full time career. While this choice meant Ron would be giving up his plans for a traditional classroom experience, it did not mean that he was giving up on teaching.  In the early 2000s, Mr. Nice Guy Games was born, based off the advice of Ron’s father, to “just do it”. Ron’s day consists of not only teaching his employees to be experts of the tabletop games that they sell, he teaches them to care, because to Ron, caring is the most important thing. Caring about your work, your employees, your customers; anyone. At Mr. Nice Guy Games, players aren’t just learning the rules of the games when they play, they are learning the rules of life - how to win or lose with pride, how to mentor others, and how to listen, discuss, strategize, and analyze. Through coaching advanced players to participate in high-stakes tournaments, oftentimes with hundreds of thousands of dollars on the line, guiding customers on the rules of a new board game, mentoring his employees, and playing in weekly events in his own store with the regulars, Ron is able to participate in his other true passion in life - teaching. Ron has made hundreds of amazing memories at Mr. Nice Guy Games and he is looking forward to making hundreds more, all based on his motto, “it pays to care”.

Taking on a brand new profession in an entirely different country was a difficult choice and true challenge for Nicole Al-Amoudi, but it turned out to be one of the most important and worthwhile decisions of her life. After graduating from college, Nicole set out on a two-year journey to Japan, teaching English as a Second Language. Leaving behind her home and everything she knew, Nicole made a new one within the Shiga Kenritsu Torahime High School in Nagahime, Japan. The experiences she shares provide invaluable insight on what it is like to teach in an entirely different school system, in a location where you know little of the culture, language, and people. Nicole embraced those challenges and took them head on, becoming a passionate and dedicated teacher to her Japanese students, where they became excellent English speakers, even winning various academic competitions based on their language prowess. During her interview, Nicole shares how teaching in Japan compares to teaching in the states, some of her favorite memories of her experiences, and walks us through a day in her life teaching nearly 7,000 miles away from where she currently calls home. Her stories provide perspective on the importance of compassion, acceptance, and patience in teaching.
