Now Available - New Curricula for The IJE is excited to offer these curricula developed for use in Community Hebrew High Schools. These curricula are the product of a two-year development process by two groups of the IJE’s curriculum development grantees, a project generously supported by the Legacy Heritage Fund, Ltd. The Institute for Informal Jewish Education at Brandeis University has been working with Community Hebrew High Schools to develop and make widely available a number of high-quality curricula in several commonly-taught areas in supplemental community Hebrew high schools. The IJE grants are supporting the creation and dissemination of these excellent curricula to a wider audience of educators by providing resources and technical assistance to educators. The products of the initiative are the beginning of a resource bank of outstanding curricula. The first round of IJE grantees worked with Sheldon Dorph and the second round worked with Dr. Ofra Backenroth, two IJE curriculum consultants. The consultants helped the grantees write out their lesson plans and develop teacher’s guides for each session of their courses. Each course was then piloted by another educator in a different school, and the feedback that educator provided helped the curriculum developer make additions, changes, and clarifications to the written curriculum. We hope that educators in your schools can make use of these curricula. We will distribute a complete copy of the curriculum to any school that is interested free of charge, with the requirement that the school provide feedback about the curriculum as it is used. In this way, the IJE will be able to gather data that will inform both future revisions of the curricula and our understanding of how best this type of curriculum can be developed and used. Here is what to do:
Please note: The curricula are available free of charge to any school that is a member of NAACHHS (North American Alliance for Community Hebrew High Schools), and are available for $50 per curriculum for any non-member school. Any questions about the IJE’s curriculum or the Curriculum Development grant can be addressed to the IJE, ije@brandeis.edu or 781-736-2068.
