UCL Holocaust Education
Paul led the team that designed the world’s most ambitious programme of teacher development in Holocaust education.
The programme for UCL’s Centre for Holocaust Education was the world’s first to be based on national research, making it uniquely responsive to the real life needs of teachers and students in the classroom.
Paul was responsible for the Centre’s educational vision and pedagogic approach, authoring innovative teaching and learning resources, and directing the full range of teacher development opportunities.
Paul now works with the Centre as a consultant as it deepens and extends its training, continued professional development, Masters and Beacon School programmes. He leads the Centre’s teacher study visits to Poland, and features in its new Massive Open Online Course, “Teaching the Holocaust: Innovative Approaches to the Challenges We Face”, developed in partnership with Yad Vashem.
