So the teachers are teaching less hours. It's not that they're less available, it's just that the schedules are worse. Qualified teachers, it seems, almost need to be masters of illusion to appear at multiple institutions to give students the education they need to receive. Another challenge is finding qualified candidates. We offer a full range of educational courses to train teachers and at the end of three years we ourselves give the teachers certificates to show that they have completed the course.
Many programs offer some kind of training.
People who have a pedagogic background or a degree in education can be trained in Judaic content, according to Berman. And those who have the Judaism knowledge without the pedagogic skills can be trained to use those. The program, a year and a half long, includes courses on Sundays, being a teaching assistant, and being a student teacher. Participants will be mentored by other teachers on the staff and by the principals. Boston has a new program that provides both professional development and financial support.
