Scheck Hillel hosted faculty from the Gordon School, Jacobson Sinai Academy, RASG Hebrew Academy, Lehrman Community Day School and Miami’s Center for the Advancement of Jewish Education (CAJE) for a September 13 meeting of the School Leadership Teams for JBlend. Scheck Hillel demonstrated the rotation model of a blended learning classroom using resources originally developed for in-house training, and educators from all of the schools together reviewed, analyzed and planned for what more they can do for students.
“Professional collaboration reaches far beyond our campus as we all work with fellow Jewish day schools to better personalize learning for our students,” said Dr. Helen Chaset, Scheck Hillel’s Director of Professional Development.
The Digital JLearning Network describes blended learning: “Teachers “blend” face-to-face instruction with online content, as part of an integrated learning experience, to engage students and help them become strong, independent learners. Assessment data collected online is used by teachers to inform and differentiate instruction, and by students to help them drive their own learning.”
Thank you to the Greater Miami Jewish Federation, CAJE and South Florida’s collaborative community for making such great advancements in education for our children.
