Research to Action

Our work with Teen Professionals is now firmly guided by these “Outcomes that Positively Impact the Lives of Jewish Teens.” Since the beginning of the 2016-17 academic year, our Teen Engagement workshops, webinars and networks are focused on using the outcome framework in professional practice. In addition to guiding others who are using the outcomes to influence their work (see the Outcomes Network link below), we are also modeling outcome driven education by selecting two outcomes for our current content focus.

#1 - Jewish teens have a stronger sense of self

#10 - Jewish Teens develop the capacity (skills and language) that allows them to grapple with and express their spiritual journeys

For more on learning opportunities connected to these outcomes, please see our Teens Thrive Series.

Interested in discussing with others how to put any of these outcomes into action in your setting?  Join our Generation Now Outcomes Network (national & virtual)...or at least be part of our first virtual meeting.
