ISU and The Wassmuth Center for Human Rights Partner to Provide Professional Development Courses to K-12 Educators Nationwide

The Albion Center for Professional Development, housed in the College of Education at Idaho State University, is pleased to announce a new five-year partnership with The Wassmuth Center for Human Rights in Boise, Idaho.

Together, they will develop and offer a series of professional development courses tailored for K-12 educators in Idaho and nationwide. These courses will emphasize human rights, including Holocaust education, equipping educators with tools and resources to introduce and teach these critical topics in their classrooms.

Idaho State University to Offer Idaho’s First Nurse Anesthesia Degree Program
