Identity and Excellence
Teacher training

Teachers
- carrier: Reshit
Schools and educational teams are at the forefront of the struggle for children’s futures, and they carry within them one of the greatest gifts they can bestow upon them – connection. Educators have the power to create meaningful relationships that grow from seeing the child as a person, as a whole person made up of several parts; a relationship that is founded on a deep and authentic familiarity with the children’s cultural and family context, one that does not just say that it believes they can – but conveys this message in overt and covert ways from the moment the children enter school until they leave it at the end of 12 years of study. This encounter deals with the connection between the student’s identity and their level of excellence, ability and achievement.

What a winner I am – the educator as a classroom teacher
Teacher training
Designed for:
Teachers
- carrier: Reshit
Educators work with various parties (students, parents, professional teachers, administration, counseling, etc.), each of whom has a stake in the success of the mission. The educator is at the crossroads between all the parties, which positions her as the manager of a system – or – as the conductor of an orchestra, whose job is to create harmony between all the parts of the orchestra in order to create that "harmonious melody" that will allow a sense of success for each of the parties (as in an orchestra, when each of the parties fulfills themselves and "plays" to the best of their ability, harmony is created).
Consciousness is the whole story.

What is the consciousness that guides us in our work in all that is said about reducing gaps and equal opportunities? In this meeting, we will expose educators to a question that is no less important and perhaps the most important, what is the consciousness with which the educator approaches her work? We will introduce the educator to the concept of "change agent" and discuss the difference between it and the concept of "socialization agent". We would like to emphasize how crucial consciousness is regarding educational questions and in general. Why is it important to constantly strengthen consciousness? How does the identity and consciousness of the educator shape her perception of herself first and then of her students.
The feeling will grow and the ability will feel.

Social change is a profound process that has an impact on worldviews, social structures, and behavioral norms. Due to the wide-ranging factors involved in this process, economic, geographical, demographic, and other factors, the ability to drive them is seen as the preserve of leaders and authoritative decision-makers. Leading these processes tends to be associated with traits such as strength, charisma, and determination. In contrast, sensitivity is seen as an important trait for individuals, but not one that is necessary for a leader. In the private sphere, we see people taking actions that stem from seeing others and being sensitive to their needs, actions that create change in the space in which they live. Simple, interpersonal actions have the power to change social norms in ever-increasing circles, so that in practice an act of sensitivity is an act of leadership. True and profound social change will occur when the sensitive actions of "ordinary" people connect with the actions of official leaders. Adopting the trait of sensitivity will also allow these leaders to act from a true perspective of others, a connection to their followers, and the ability to identify and feel their distress.
My inner point as an educator
Teacher training

Teachers

The question of why I do what I do? Or rather, answering this question is a necessary step in any process we seek to carry out. We will address the question of 'why?' From there to 'what?' and only finally the 'how.' After that, we will examine what we would like to accomplish as educators.
