Professional Development for Jewish Educators:
Abby is available to teach teachers how to best draw out learner connections to text and how explore social-emotional texts to bolster learning and growth. In this two-part series, as an example, we will explore essential texts with insights into human nature. We’ll consider the relevance of the perspectives we encounter and their contemporary meaning for our own wise living.
These learning experiences are text-based and can be facilitated in a variety of ways. The sessions are deeply meaningful for teachers who seek to share ancient Jewish wisdom with their learners, as learners build and grow their social-emotional skills.
