Raising the Bar For Our Children
Whether you are a parent or grandparent, or an aunt or uncle, or neighbor: you surely have children in your social network whom you care about.
The question is – have these children ever had a less-than-stellar teacher in any classroom? I wish that this were a sincere question and not a rhetorical one.
In my opinion, having an untrained teacher in any classroom is usually a bit of a tragedy.
Finding great teachers is the dream of every principal. But it ain’t easy. Sometimes they have to settle, and hope for the best. That’s why we launched JTI 8 years ago.
But this week the game has changed, and I need your help, dear reader, to get the word out.
Our Jewish Teachers Institute (JTI) project has until now serviced only the Baltimore community. But as of this week – any school in the world can stream our workshops!
Please check out https://trainings.jsli.org and please note – this is a non-profit program.
I have two requests:
1. Spend 4.5 minutes perusing the site.
2. If you like what you see, share it with anyone you know involved with education.
Including: teachers (including college professors), principals, parents and grandparents of school-age children…
Most of our workshops are universal – even a public school teacher would benefit.
I have personally spent many hours over the past month trying to get this website right. I would very much appreciate your critical feedback if you see anything that can be improved!
Many thanks to the generous supporters of JSLI whose partnership has made this new level of teacher training possible.
Let’s end as usual with a question for your table… One of the workshops on the new site is called PIVOT: Teach Any Subject Effectively – it’s an acronym for 5 KEY PRACTICES OF MASTER TEACHERS. Can you guess what each letter stands for?
