NYC Educator Training – Arguing for the Sake of Hope: Helping Teens Build Civic Strength Through Jewish Dialogue (Kulam)
August 11 at 9:30 am – 3:30 pm
Kulam for Classrooms & Kulam for Teaching Assistants Training Session with a Keynote by Rabbi Charlie Savenor and Audi Hecht
How can we bridge civic learning and Jewish wisdom in a way that addresses contemporary challenges and speaks to today’s teens? This session will provide educators with frameworks and tools to help students explore a core civic challenge of our time: Where do we find points of connection with others that are inclusive and inviting? Where do we encounter differences? And how can we draw on those connections to navigate varied viewpoints with generosity and empathy? We will explore how Jewish values can help teens cultivate a civic identity that honors both their own perspectives and those of others.
Participants will learn:
- How to use our curriculum (and make it your own!)
- The Moving Traditions unique pedagogy and approach to working with teens
- How to help teens ask big questions about where, why, and how they belong
- Best practices for facilitating authentic and dynamic conversations with teens
