For new and veteran Jewish educators
Jewish LearningWorks has offered mentorship experiences to educators in our community since 2018. We do this by connecting professionals to engage in a mentorship experience that benefits both the mentor and mentee.
Mentoring is a proven, effective and efficient way to invest in our community’s educators. Our Mentorship Program is informed by Jewish concepts and texts, as well as leadership and adult learning research, to support mentors and mentees in this process.
Each year we recruit both new mentors and mentees. Once the matches of mentors and mentees have been made, we provide the structure and tools for meaningful engagement.
