Information, resources and reflection on Jewish early childhood education

Thanks, Lisa. This one is especially helpful to me. Have you see any of the blogs that Ellen Dietrick has done? She is the new director at the Temple Beth Shalom Nursery School in Needham, and she uses blogging to involve parents in a way that is rich, deep, and meaningful. Her blogs are private, though, so I cannot share the link with you, but perhaps you or I could drop her an e-mail if you'd like to see. At TOS, we are anticipating replacing our weekly newsletters to parents with blogs beginning this summer or next fall, so I was interested in looking at this one! I think that this tool is useful in its ability to communicate more efficiently with parents (and with other educators and community members) and to engage them more deeply. I also feel that blogging can be a great way to make connections between curriculum, activities, and child development more transparent for parents through the use of tags. For example, you could tag all of the activities that incorporate, for example, Israel, and then parents could see how Israel is integrated strongly throughout the curriculum. I have used blogging before. I personally find it very user friendly.It produces a strong documentation of children's learning over time, and of the growth of curriculum over time. I do feel that one of the dangers of blogging, however, is the ability to quickly publish information without much editing. I noticed in the first post today on this blog that were a few type-os! I think that particularly in early childhood education, there is a need to produce quality well-written communications to demonstrate that educators are knowledgeable and themselves well-trained.

A curriculum for middle and high school students using the work of photographer Zion Ozeri to explore diverse Jewish communities and their traditions. Students then focus on their own communities - documenting their communal values on film and curating on-site exhibits of their work. The project culminates with an exhibition that ties together the work of students from all participating schools. For educators and students, the website provides links to the sites of world Jewish communities, American history, the Talmud, Jews and photography and photography for social change.
