National Jewish Teen Educators Network (8th-12th)
About this Network:
This is a national network for professionals who have portfolios/roles/titles similar to Community Hebrew High Professionals, Confirmation Class Educators, Synagogue Educators and/or Hebrew High Directors, and Community Educators. The goal of this network is to connect with role-alike professionals with whom to have conversations about the field, share programmatic and curricular resources, provide support, guidance, and mentorship, discuss challenges, and more. This network will meet online via Zoom on the following Tuesdays this spring: 1/24, 2/28, & 4/4 from 2:00 pm-3:00 pm EST. In addition to the live meet-ups, there will be a designated online space where youth professionals will be encouraged to share ideas, ask questions and get feedback, collaborate, kvetch/kvell, and more.
Additional Information:
This is a brand-new network created for youth professionals working with teens in 8th-12th grade in all Jewish organizational institutions that categorize themselves as educational in nature, but not day schools.
