When mentoring our pre-service and in-service teachers we need to describe and model both research-based and clinically tested best practices. Accordingly, our mentees should know about (a) the importance of transforming the traditional classroom into a Jewish community of cooperative learners and (b) specific learning activities for community building. Toward this end, we are sharing The Circles of..., A Community Building Activity that can help transform the classroom into a caring Jewish learning community.
Note: Refer to the procedure explained in the post for implementing My Jewish Joys.
On the next post we will share the fourth of four community building activities, My Jewish Star.
