Book Synopsis
Examines how day schools are educating diverse Jewish youth in a variety of content areas. Teaching and Learning in Jewish Day Schools offers an important analysis of Jewish day school classrooms today. In light of difficulties initiating, evaluating, and sustaining educational innovation, this volume takes stock of what is happening among students and teachers in contemporary Jewish day school classrooms. The authors of this volume confront and question several bedrock principles of Jewish education to address how day schools intersect with broader societal issues including race and gender. They point to themes and topics that scholars and practitioners are grappling with to explore new potential pathways to evaluating student learning and learning outcomes: assessing core subject areas; understanding the ways social and environmental factors contribute to learning; and studying how race, ethnicity, class, and gender shape student learning and school culture. The chapters address topics relevant to educators working in contemporary Jewish day schools including Zionism, the outcomes of Israel education, Jewish engagement, the experience of Latinx students, community building, and more.
