Prizmah’s HaYidion Fall 2020 edition highlighted an article written by managing director of the Jewish Education Innovation Challenge, Sharon Freundel, about how collaborating through professional learning communities can better serve Jewish day schools. The article specifically focuses on Developing Embedded Expertise Program (DEEP), JEIC’s initiative that brings educational providers together with a shared goal of achieving systemic, systematic, and sustainable change in Jewish day schools across North America.
In her article Collaborating to Serve Day Schools Better, Freundel writes, “We are cognizant that while looking at the acute needs of Jewish day school education, we must support the remodeling that is taking place before our very eyes. We believe this newfound group effort among educational providers will serve to strengthen our day schools, yielding a more powerful, impactful and enduring learning experience for our students.”
