J-IDEA
Welcome to the Jewish Spirituality Network, a free online resource for teachers and parents. Here you will find ready-to-use curricula and pedagogical resources.
Need to teach a class and no time to prepare? Join the club. Teachers today are harder-working than ever before and yet can’t always keep up!
Our free lesson-plans, handouts and training videos are user-friendly and standardized to the five qualities of the Art of Amazement model:
J • Jewish — universal content that appeals to all Jewish backgrounds.
I • Inductive — builds on the student’s prior knowledge.
D • Dialectical — encourages open discussion and debate to discover wisdom.
E • Experiential — utilizes simple classroom manipulatives for all ages.
A • Awe — draws on student’s innate sense of wonder.
