the Lookstein Virtual Resource Center provides varied useful resources for day school educators and administrators. Among its offerings is a collection of “mini-sites” on key pedagogic and content-based topics as they relate to the environment of the Jewish Day School. These Jewish education websites include scholarly literature, instructional materials, online video lectures and links to relevant websites.
