The Warren Fellowship for Future Teachers is a week-long program that introduces university students preparing for a career in teaching to the history and to the lessons of the Holocaust and other genocides. The Warren Fellowship, supported by The Warren Fellowship Fund, is developing a corps of educators who want to learn how to effectively teach about genocide and the Holocaust.

The fellowship takes place at Holocaust Museum Houston in Houston, Texas each spring. Twenty-five pre-service teacher educators will be selected by a faculty and Museum panel and will be designated as Warren Fellows.

Once accepted to this prestigious fellowship, participants attend a six–day, all–expense-paid institute designed to immerse the Fellows in historical and pedagogical issues related to the Holocaust.

Eminent Holocaust and genocide scholars provide historical and academic content and university faculty and Museum staff provide pedagogical context.

During the week, Fellows have the opportunity to meet and work with survivors of the Holocaust. Following the program, Fellows are invited to participate in numerous educational activities and outreach opportunities, including the possibility of study at Yad Vashem in Israel. Students who plan to teach elementary, middle or secondary school subjects of history, social studies, English/language arts, speech, art and foreign language are encouraged to apply for the Warren Fellowship.

This prestigious program is by application only.
