Math: Engaging and Supporting more Learners | Grades 2-5

Temple Israel Center White Plains, NY. This model encourages full-time educators to go beyond the classroom by engaging learners at the synagogue, in their homes, as well as, in the community.

Mayim offers experiential and project-based Jewish learning and community-building for children in grades K-5. Their commitment to project-based learning places the student at the center of the learning, with the teacher acting as a facilitator (Design Principle 6). Project-based learning also means that students collaborate regularly, creating deep and meaningful relationships (Design Principle 5). Mayim provides options for transportation, early drop off, and elective activities preceding the start of the program. They also offer daily Jewish afterschool care (Design Principle 2).

This year’s conference will be a hybrid event – speakers on Zoom and school communities coming together to learn.
