Free Series for Educators
There are some things that are just core to what we do as Jewish early childhood educators. The rhythms of the Jewish year imbue our schools with an energy that becomes a part of us. When it comes to understanding Judaism's big ideas, hands-on rituals, and the emergent classroom investigations that flow from them, there is much to learn for novice and veteran alike. Our belief that children are created in God's image compels us to hone pedagogical skills that are worthy of them—and of our own divine potential as educators!
