LSJS President Chief Rabbi Mirvis introduced the day. He said, ”we learn from Mishlei, that, as when digging for treasure, a person’s search for Torah education needs to be accurate and persistent.”
The conference included sessions on Israel Education in Tough Times, Using GenAI in Schools and Behaviour is Communication: Understanding & Responding. Participants also had the option to take part in a session on Preparing our Students for Life on Campus Post Oct 7.
“Teachers too rarely get the opportunity to be students, said Dr Helena Miller, Director of Degrees and Teacher Training, Senior Research Fellow. ”Today at LSJS, teachers from across our Jewish schools learnt from experts in their fields and also had the chance to learn from, and with, each other”.
Jonathan Levy, head teacher of Tanenbaum- CHAT Community Jewish High school in Toronto gave the keynote address, in which he spoke about the school he leads.
“Our teachers’ conferences are highlights of the academic year, and educators from all over Europe look forward to sharing and networking,” said LSJS Chief Executive Joanne Greenaway. “It is a great opportunity for them to share strategies on how they engage and motivate their students and talk about the challenges they face and how they approach them.”
The conference was kindly sponsored by UnitEd.
