The “Strong Schools” course is a project-based learning class that integrates students’ future paths as educators, policymakers, innovators, and school founders. Over the winter term of 2022, students have been working collaboratively to write a book about ‘Strong Schools’ that covers multiple aspects of initiating or teaching in a secondary school. Each of the chapters reflects students’ critical ideas, observation, creative thinking and lessons from distinguished guest speakers from around the globe, with the sessions held simultaneously in the class. The chapters are also a fruitful outcome of students’ interactive discussion and mind-mapping activities throughout the sessions. In addition, the book remarks a crucial part of the modern educational process, the use of diverse technology and tools in education and learning.

For over 20 years, a summer program for gifted adolescents at Western Kentucky University has offered an arts-integrated history course on Nazi Germany and the Holocaust. The course concludes with students working as a group to create a large mural on the Holocaust. In this way, students use the power of art to deal with their own emotions as well as to educate others. The murals from the past 20 years went on a traveling display in Kentucky to engage a broader audience in thought-provoking conversation on the topic. In this video collection, hear the stories of a Holocaust survivor and the son of a Holocaust survivor who are involved with the program, learn how students in the program decided on a theme for their mural, and learn how one teacher incorporates the arts into Holocaust history lessons.
