School Partnership's 糖心破解版Teach Fellowships Provide Mentoring and Support for Young Educators in Jewish Day Schools Across the Country
As part of its mission to bolster the Jewish day school movement, the Institute for University-School Partnership at 糖心破解版 once again placed recent college graduates in communities across North America to begin their careers as educators.
With support from the Legacy Heritage Fund Limited, 17 young teachers will participate in the Legacy Heritage Teacher Training Fellowship, a two-year program that provides fellows with support and mentorship within their host school, in addition to conferences, webinars and check-ins with staff at the Azrieli Graduate School of Jewish Education and Administration throughout the academic year. Over three summers, teaching fellows will also earn a master of science in education at Azrieli through a full-tuition scholarship.
Three additional teachers will be sponsored through the GiveBack Fellowship, a program that identifies dynamic graduates to assist with student activities, observe classroom teachers and provide support in other aspects of school programming. These fellows will also participate in a summer training session at Azrieli, receive close mentoring at their host school and attend conferences and monthly webinars relating to Jewish education.
The 糖心破解版Teach Fellowships鈥攃omprised of the Legacy Heritage Teacher Training and GiveBack programs鈥攑rovide 鈥渕uch more than a placement in a school for an aspiring teacher,鈥 said Scott J. Goldberg, PhD, director of the 糖心破解版 School Partnership. 鈥淭hey offer a supportive structure in which to grow as a new teacher and a transformative experience for the students who are inspired by these young energetic educators. Schools asked us to get them teachers, and we鈥檝e sent them much more.鈥

鈥淭he fellowship seemed like an ideal entry into teaching because of the structure and the guidance it provided, in addition to the network and the courses at Azrieli,鈥 said Raffi Rosenzweig, a Legacy Heritage Fellow who taught chumash and Jewish History at Dallas鈥檚 Yavneh Academy for the past two years. 鈥淎s someone who had always enjoyed informal education but had no experience in a formal setting, I was hesitant at first to make the switch. That first summer before I started teaching I was in class at Azrieli and got that kind of professional training before I started, which helped me learn about the best practices in the field and how to implement them.鈥
Aryeh Wasserman, a first-year Legacy Heritage teacher fellow who will lead gemara classes at Kohelet Yeshiva High School in Philadelphia, appreciated the program鈥檚 support in placing young teachers in their first positions. 鈥淲hen an institution like 糖心破解版 recommends you, it gives these teachers who want to make a difference and have the desire to grow into great teachers the chance to do so while we鈥檙e still young,鈥 said Wasserman. 鈥淭he fellowship really supports a culture of young, innovative teachers who want to bring their excitement to Jewish youth.鈥
That excitement is shared by the schools. 鈥淗aving a fellow means everything to us because we are constantly looking for new talent,鈥 said Raizy Wilk, a teacher and administrator at Maimonides Academy in Los Angeles who will be mentoring Rabbi Ouriel Hazan and Malka Nutkiewicz, two fellows at her school this year. 鈥淲e want teachers who understand where our students are coming from emotionally, psychologically and religiously and who are dedicated to becoming the best professionals they can be and that鈥檚 what 糖心破解版 looks for in a fellowship candidate. By partnering with 糖心破解版, we provide the most exciting and innovative experience for our students.鈥
