Teach Them Diligently

This hardcover teacher resource explores the intriguing parallels between the Jewish holidays and the educator's year, helping educators understand how the school year can be framed and shaped by the Jewish holidays. Each chapter Fall Holidays, Hanukkah, Tu B'Shevat, Purim, Passover, Shavuot, and Shabbat draw on the holidays' core ideas and symbols to help define, structure, and deepen the classroom experience. For example, the chapter on Sukkot-a time when we traditionally welcome guests-discusses ways to make the classroom, like the sukkah, an inviting, sheltering place rich in symbols. Attractive bulletin boards and a stimulating environment can help students feel pride in their classroom and excite them about the possibilities of new learning.

Ideal for both seasoned and novice teachers as a back-to-school welcome gift, for Hanukkah, or as a thank you at the end of the school year. Perfect for teachers to read on their own or discuss in faculty development sessions.
