Professional Learning Opportunities

 

The JEC recognizes that in order for educators to create successful and dynamic learning environments for their students, educators require opportunities to strengthen both their pedagogic skills and Jewish content knowledge. The JEC thus encourages all of its educators to explore the rich variety of Communities of Practices, Educator Networks, and local adult learning opportunities that matches their educational needs and interests.
