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 educators alike. How do we welcome and embrace the holidays without putting the curriculum on hold? 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. |
Mark your calendar for these six sessions as together we follow the cycle of Jewish holidays, exploring the underlying messages and values and learning how to weave them into your classroom curriculum. Each session will focus on the upcoming Jewish holiday/s and offer inspiring stories from our colleagues in the field.
