The Pardes Summer Curriculum Workshop is aimed at new Judaic Studies teachers of grades 4-12, combining professional development with Judaic learning in Jerusalem. The cost of tuition, housing, and most meals is provided by grants and contributions. It is open to Judaic Studies teachers in North American day schools, who have been teaching for one to five years who will continue to do so in the coming school year.
The program will consist of the following elements:
- Development of a curricular unit
- Torah lishma
- Pedagogy workshops
- Discussing new developments in education
- Collegial sharing sessions (on school issues and curriculum)
- Field trips, evening programs and optional Shabbat programming
- Developing relationships with other Judaic text teachers
