Cohort 3 of the Senior Educator Learning Fellowship will begin their program with a generously subsidized trip to Israel in summer 2023 for a three-week in-person learning-intensive at Pardes in Jerusalem.
The learning-intensive will include a course on Pardes’s unique Mahloket Matters approach to multiple-perspective-focused text study. This approach aims to equip participants with valuable life skills for today’s polarized world and to empower them to bring this approach into their classrooms and school communities.
The Fellowship will continue in the fall, winter, and spring with monthly webinars. Additionally, each fellow will work with an expert mentor on crafting, designing, and implementing a project for their congregational school. Seed funding of up to $2,000 will be available for each project.
In May 2024, cohort members will meet again in person (on the East Coast of the US) for a final two-day Fellowship convening and graduation.
