Sample break-out sessions include:

Educational Models: Learn how to examine and evaluate your current educational model and how to decide which model type will best serve your community. You will be introduced to a variety of educational models as well as the rich resources available to you through The Jewish Education Project. (This session is geared to education directors)

Whole Person Learning: When we use Whole Person Learning, we design educational experiences that will impact the learner’s sense of Belonging, as well as what the learner will Know, Do, and Believe (Value). This session will introduce you to a wealth of tools and resources that will guide you in creating powerful learning experiences based on Whole Person Learning. (This session is for any educator or youth advisor)
