3+3 Project

It is named after two well-known Jewish texts that talk about names:

Rabbi Shimon says there are 3 crowns:

     The crown of Torah

     The crown of the priesthood (the kohanim)

     The crown of a ruler (e.g., a monarch).

And the crown of a good name is superior to them all.

Pirkei Avot 4:17

 

A person is known by 3 names: 

     one that their parent(s) call them, 

     one that other people call them, 

     and one that they earn for themselves.

The best of all is the one they earn for themselves.

Midrash Tanhuma

The curriculum, developed for first through sixth graders, offers an example of how to bring to life the Gifting Framework, while supporting teachers in become facilitators of learning, rather than "tell-ers" of information.
