Recent findings say that it can be sparked, and an educator can play a lead role in motivating their learners. Over the course of this convening, participants will apply these findings to their practice and design programs that their participants are inclined to attend! We will be offering three learning opportunities through M2. Each session consists of two day intensive where participants will be exposed to the theoretical underpinnings of experiential Jewish education along with methods for practical application. Professionals are encouraged to join all three intensives but can also opt-in for individual sessions. There will be a charge associated with these program.
