Impact

The impact of the Mandel Center is measured in terms of ideas, institutions and people: new and powerful ideas about teaching and learning, institutions with improved ways of working and people with stronger capacities to create the conditions for learning for students and colleagues.

Teachers bring practices developed in the laboratory setting of the Mandel Center to other teaching contexts. And intensive, ongoing work with schools to improve their cultures for teaching and learning pays off in system-wide transformation. This is the Center’s core mission: studying Jewish teaching to revitalize Jewish learning.
