Former Gov. Thomas Kean met today with New Jersey educators crafting a curriculum for teaching New Jersey's children about the attacks, sharing lessons learned from his experience as chairman of the national 9/11 commission. The setting was a conference kicking off a yearlong effort to develop curriculum and resources for teachers faced with a dual challenge of teaching the history and context of the terrorist attacks in communities that witnessed them.

The idea for the curriculum began with the Families of September 11 and the effort includes the Liberty Science Center, the state Commission on Holocaust Education and about 20 New Jersey teachers.
With guidance from the Commission on Holocaust Education -- which has written not just the state's Holocaust curriculum but also lessons on other acts of genocide -- teachers from around the state gathered several times over the last year to write dozens of lessons about terrorism for all grades. The curriculum cuts across many subjects, including social studies, history, language arts, art and music. Click on link to learn more.

Support for Students Exposed to Trauma (SSET) is a series of ten support groups that use a structured approach to reduce distress resulting from exposure to violence. It was designed to be implemented by teachers or school counselors who have an interest in the mental health of their students and have good rapport with their students.
