Vision for Chabad Schools
MEF has led a team of Mechanchim in formulating a concise, overarching “Vision for Chabad Schools,” to articulate goals for student outcomes, and to hold ourselves accountable at every step of the way. The Vision is a living document and serves as a basic foundation to build and expound upon.
Standards For Teaching
What are our goalposts as educators, especially when beginning our journey in the classroom? This document outlines 4 areas of teaching proficiency and examples of what proficiency looks like in each area. Use this as your own guidebook to grow as a teacher, or as a point of reference for teacher coaching or supervision.
Revisiting Education
Chinuch today is more complex than ever with never-before-seen challenges facing our youth. Parents and educators struggle to find way to inspire our children with the same fire and passion that has long sustained Chassidishe Chinuch through the generations. As the greater Chabad community questions and debates how to reinvigorate our Chinuch system, it is imperative to find answers to the core issues we are facing. MEF commissioned JLI’s Machon Shmuel, the Sami Rohr Research Institute division, to study a few of the most pressing Chinuch questions educators face today and draw up a comprehensive report of its findings.
