Teaching to the Moment: A Study of Immersive Jewish Service-Learning Education
Are you hoping to institute effective immersive Jewish service-learning? This report provides key findings on the successes of our work.
In order for immersive Jewish service-learning (ISJL) to be effective, the practices of the educators must be so as well. This study explores educators from various Jewish backgrounds and associations, their practices, approaches and tools they utilize when implementing programs. Further, this report addresses factors believed to be associated with effective immersive learning pedagogy. Through both qualitative and quantitative data, orient yourself to the ideas of ISJL educators when planning your own experience.
