Everyone gets something out of this miracle. Thanks to NESS...
Teachers and education directors will benefit from:
- participating in ongoing, intensive training programs
- learning innovative teaching strategies, cutting-edge curricula, and Jewish content
- having opportunities to practice these newly acquired skills under the guidance of NESS-trained educational directors.
- becoming more effective leaders and change-agents in their own schools
- receiving generous stipends, compensating them for their professional time.
Schools will benefit from:
- intensive, custom-designed consultation by Bay Area leaders in education, Jewish Studies, and organizational and leadership development
- integration of six educationally sound components to create school change
- participation in an assessment of their assets and limitations
- individualized recommendations for school improvement and progress tracking
- a community of learners among the educational professionals and lay leaders
- active involvement of the synagogue community: rabbi, cantor, educational director, education committee, synagogue board, parents, and students in the process of planning for and implementing school change
- ongoing, intensive, external evaluation of the entire program, as well as of each of its components, throughout the duration of the program, affording the opportunity to make adjustments as the program proceeds
- active, continuing involvement of a carefully selected NESS advisory committee of Jewish education professionals and lay leaders.
NESS is a project of the Bureau of Jewish Education, modeled on a program created by the Auerbach Central Agency for Jewish Education in Philadelphia, and made possible through the generous support of The Jewish Community Endowment Fund and the Annual Campaign of the Jewish Community Federation of San Francisco, the Peninsula, Marin and Sonoma Counties and PELIE.
