/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Skokie, IL- A professional development teachers'
institute day took place to help Illinois educators expand Armenian
Genocide education offerings. The two-hour session at Niles North High
School in Skokie was in response to interest from the teachers and
a request from an Armenian teacher who works at the school, reported
the Genocide Education Network of Illinois. The ongoing ANC-Illinois
initiative to meet the newly created genocide education mandate
-HB0312, led to the establishment of the Genocide Education Network
of Illinois (GENI), which acts as a clearinghouse to disseminate
information to teachers about genocide. Co-founder of GENI, Karine
Birazian presented for over two hours to teachers on the history of
the Armenian Genocide, the current denial existing in Turkey, and
even the Nagorno Karabakh conflict. An educational resource CD was
distributed to each teacher that included various documents on the
Armenian Genocide provided by Richard Kloian from the Armenian Genocide
Resource Center, reports the Armenian National Committee of America.
