Authors: Alpert Bracha, Ariav Tamar, Hadar Linor L.
This case study explores how teacher education curriculum in a college in Israel responded to the Covid-19 outbreak. The article focuses on the clinical component of the preservice curriculum (practice teaching and methods courses). It reveals that curriculum became malleable in two major ways: there was (1) a shift to learner-centered well-being and social emotional learning (SEL); and (2) an adaptation of teaching methods.

Another aim was to reveal the most effective perceived PBL constructivist activities in enhancing the assessment methods.

Pre-service teacher’s self-perception of digital literacy: The case of Israel
Authors: Peled Yehuda
The purpose of this study is to assess the level of digital literacies and digital readiness of students majoring in education. The research method includes a questionnaire comprising 54 items. The sample consists of 1265 students. The results show that more than half of the participants report an overall high level of literacy in all areas. Their sense of readiness for teamwork and their ethical readiness is high. Nonetheless, a low sense of readiness is found in a first and advanced order of readiness. The practical implications of these findings are crucial, as they can assist faculty and educational policymakers identify the strengths and weaknesses of students’ digital literacies.

In tech times we still need to invest in people
Authors: Greenaway Joanne
In September, the London School of Jewish Studies is introducing a new programme combining leadership skills and Jewish studies. The Teach to Lead programme, based on the Teach First model, will develop high-calibre Jewish studies teachers across primary and secondary schools. The new cohort will be tasked with re-envisioning Jewish education for the 21st century to ensure we don’t only replicate old methods and approaches but bring new perspectives and solutions. They will have the opportunities to learn from practitioners around the Jewish world. They must be able to think creatively about what our young people need today to respond to Jewish ideas and how to nurture thinking Jews who are strong in their identity, knowledgeable about their heritage and passionate about their Jewish faith.

The final part will discuss the main conclusions and reflections on the situation which can be drawn at this point in time.

Teacher Education in a New Age of Accountability: How Can Programs Develop Responsible and Valuable Self-Assessment
Authors: Tamir Eran
This paper intends to demonstrate how within the current contentious environment for teacher education in the U.S., two small teacher preparation programs, two sister programs, the Jewish Teacher Education Program (JTEP) of Massachusetts (MA) and California (CA), conducted a voluntary coordinated long-term self-evaluation study, that partially responded to external accountability pressures by the Federal administration, state agencies and various private and non-governmental organizations. In particular, we focus on findings about graduates’ preparation experiences and sense of preparedness for teaching, as well as how they perceived their faculty strengths and weaknesses and programs’ effectiveness.
