This network is open to both Early Childhood and Congregational Learning Assistant Directors. Participants will be exposed to leadership theory, to share innovative models and strategies, explore trends in Jewish education, and begin to understand to explore their own potential to make a difference in the lives of families and learners at their institution.
Each network member will have the opportunity to lead text studies, share highlights from their work, raise issues of concern, offer up dilemmas and resources and work in "critical colleague" groups. Participants are committed to supporting one another’s growth as professional educators.
Additional Information:
- For Jewish educators with a long-term commitment to the field; those who seek to be professional Jewish educators.
