We at CAJE know the importance of Jewish education and the challenges associated with teaching and administration.  We support teachers and administrators in a variety of ways. Opportunities for Jewish educators include:

Teachers, Take an Online Class!

Teachers in Colorado are taking a class called Effective Classroom Strategy, offered online through JSkyway, and coordinated by CAJE. This is a scheduled asynchronous class (translation: you have to keep up with the class, but you can get on your computer at midnight if you want to.) The cost wasdrastically reduced from $100 to $60 just for Colorado teachers. If you are interested in online learning, click here mmiller@caje-co.org to email Maggie Miller or click here JSkyway -- Online Professional Development for Educators in Jewish Schools to learn more.

A Successful Afternoon of Workshops

27 teachers from 9 different religious schools gathered on a Sunday afternoon in November to learn together and share ideas. Workshop topics included Lesson Planning and Classroom Management, Teaching to Different Learning Styles, and Connecting Kids to Judaism through Prayers and Blessings. If you missed this workshop and want to make sure you don't miss future CAJE Professional Development opportunities for teachers, be sure to contact Maggie at mmiller@caje-co.org.

Teachers join CAJE’s Book Group for Educators

Several teachers are in the process of furthering their knowledge and socializing with other educators in a book group organized by a local teacher. They are meeting three times during the year to discuss the books they've read. including How To Differentiate Instruction in Mixed-Ability Classrooms by Carol Ann Tomlinson, A Mind At a Time by Mel Levine, and Visions of Jewish Education by Seymour Fox.  Click here mmiller@caje-co.org to email Maggie Miller for more information.
