Essential Ingredients in Education:
Skills, Content, and Values :
Some of the liveliest debates in Jewish school board meetings center on the
articulation of a school’s mission: to ensure content knowledge, to ensure
skill with Jewish liturgy and language, or both.

A Learning Community’s
Adult Members:
Each adult constituency in the school—new teachers, veteran
teachers, parents, trustees—requires specifically designed
learning activities that reflect sound learning principles .

Transforming Early
Education : To preserve the vital organs of our communal
life we must make them competitive in the overcrowded marketplace.

Quote of
the Month
|
|
|
|
| “Teaching children to be comfortable with
ambiguity lets children in on the greatest, most profound
truth of all—that things really worth knowing
are complicated. As they struggle with ideas, they
simultaneously sharpen their analytic skills, learn
to entertain alternative explanations, and realize
they needn’t despair when they don’t find
an easy answer—in the classroom or in the big
tough questions about life.” Judy Elkin, “Tough
Questions” Sh’ma February 2004
