COMMUNITIES OF PRACTICE
A community of practice (CoP) is a group of people with shared interests, who come together to fulfill both individual and group goals. CoPs often focus on sharing best practices and creating new knowledge to advance professional practice. Jewish LearningWorks’ CoPs are designed to help you grow professionally and deepen collegial relationships.
Opportunities Include
Spiritually Centered Judaism Community of Practice
For all Jewish educators seeking to deepen opportunities to integrate spirituality within their teaching
In the 2025 – 2026 school year, members of the SoulFULL Community of Practice met to share and explore educational pedagogies and practices that place spirituality at the center of Judaism. As we learned together, we began to articulate a framework for how spirituality is experienced and cultivated. Join us this year to continue this exploration, and the ways in which we can apply them at work. The SoulFULL Community of Practice meets from October 2026 to May 2027. Membership is open.
Early Childhood Education Community of Practice
For Jewish preschool directors
The Bay Area is home to forty Jewish Early Childhood centers in a range of settings. Jewish LearningWorks convenes the directors of these schools monthly to connect and learn from each other. We also host an annual retreat.
