About this Course

A: This two-part video course provides teacher tips and step-by-step instructions so you can use JPEF’s Bielski Partisans / 'Defiance' curricula right away with your students.
Part Two covers how to Use JPEF’s Teaching with 'Defiance' multimedia lesson plan to teach History, Leadership, Ethics and Jewish values.
See Part One for an introduction to the Bielski Partisans and the Ethics 'Defiance' and Tuvia Bielski study guides.
Q: Who is it for?
A:This is an advanced JPEF E-Learning course. You should be familiar with JPEF's 'Resistance Basics' video course before proceeding.

A: The core curricula includes JPEF’s Tuvia Bielski study guide, Ethics and 'Defiance' study guide and Teaching with 'Defiance' multimedia lesson plan.
The study guides can be used on their own. To use the multimedia lesson plan you will need a copy of the film 'Defiance' or order JPEF’s Teaching with 'Defiance' Educator DVD. Refer to the video course for more information.
Q: How do these materials support learning?
A: These materials provide the basis for whole class discussion, partner study, written response, research projects, and creative extensions that will expand the way students think about History, Ethics, Leadership and Jewish Values.
Much of the curricula includes text study drawn from Western and Jewish sources (appropriate for both public and religious schools) accompanied by critical thinking questions about the issues partisans faced, and how students might apply these lessons to their own lives.
Q: How is the course structured?
A: This course uses a "do, then teach model" showing how the lesson is used in the classroom, then explaining the theory behind it, as well as suggestions for customizing the lesson.
Part Two is divided into seven chapters, with quizzes at the end of most chapters to test and reinforce comprehension. Teachers who score 80% or more on the quizzes can earn free credit hours and CEUs through Touro College.

This course built on the knowledge gained in Part One. The course gave me excellent examples (with strong rationales) to use in the class.

Most of this was very useful, but I found the suggestion to recreate the editors of DEFIANCE and debate the scene with the German soldier to be unworkable. My school would have serious issues if I used that lesson plan.
