No matter what grade or subject you teach in congregational schools — holidays, lifecycles, history, texts, or traditions — God plays an integral part in these topics. But, how do you teach such an abstract concept? Part of teaching about God is being able to express what you believe in God. The other part involves understanding the religious developmental theories and how they can be applied to Jewish educational settings. We will utilize various reflection tools to help you express your own God idea, look at various developmental theories of religious life, and examine some examples of how your own beliefs in God and understanding of development can inform what and how you teach about God in the classroom.
