Aimed at new Judaic Studies teachers of grades 4-12, this program combines
professional development with Judaic learning in Jerusalem. The cost of tuition, housing, and most meals is provided by a grant from the
Mandell L. and Madeleine H. Berman Foundation, as well as by contributions
from other donors.
The Pardes Summer Curriculum Workshop for novice day school teachers began
in 2002. It is open to Judaic Studies teachers of grades 4-12 in North
American day schools, who have been teaching for one to five years.
The program will consist of the following elements:
* Development of a curricular unit for your school
* Torah lishma
* Pedagogy workshops
* Collegial sharing sessions (on school issues and curriculum)
* Field trips, evening programs and optional Shabbat programming
* Developing relationships with other Judaic text teachers
