Educators are busy. They constantly dance between the multiple roles they play. Educators spend years building their repertoire, finding the styles that work for them, and refining them through numerous iterations. And then, when they finally hit their sweet spot, they face perhaps their greatest challenge—repeating what they’ve been doing over and over again.
This issue of the Jewish Educational Leadership is devoted to the enterprise of trying out something new. Most of the articles are written by teachers who tried new things, sometimes more successfully than others, but who learned from each experience and tried again. Some were inspired by a need to refresh their teaching inspired by COVID-19, while others have been tinkering for years. Each is built on ideas that others can replicate, even to try once and to see what could be learned.
We hope you enjoy this issue and Join us in reinvigorating Jewish learning, one classroom at a time.
