Professional Development

Our Core Value of Limmud – Learning – means modeling a growth mindset for our children by making learning a lifelong pursuit. Learn about the many opportunities for professional growth available through JES.

Professional growth

Through Workshops, Conferences and Cohorts

Our professional development opportunities bring together educators working in Jewish early childhood education programs, congregational schools, and day schools to enhance their abilities in teaching about Israel, Jewish values, Torah, and other Jewish and general education subjects.

We Strive To:

  • Improve Jewish competencies and knowledge
  • Promote collaboration and networking
  • Offer creative and non-traditional approaches to Jewish education
  • Develop new ideas for reaching, inspiring, and engaging families to grow in their Judaism
  • Facilitate career advancement

Day Schools

We offer opportunities for school professionals and educators to learn best practices that support student success. Our programs include engaging workshops, leadership and curriculum cohorts, technology networks and more.
