The value of equality is a central value in modern and democratic societies, and they try to realize it by establishing infrastructure and resources that enable equal opportunities for all, such as a state education system. Despite these efforts, an in-depth examination of those societies in general and Israeli society in particular reveals that inequality is not decreasing and is even replicating itself. Phenomena such as poverty, lack of education, and low self-image and social standing reproduce themselves among certain populations, just as higher education, wealth, and prestige reproduce themselves among other populations. An examination of the education system reveals that it constitutes an accurate mirror image of inequality in society, so that there is also a reproduction of achievements among students in accordance with their achievements and the socio-economic status of their parents. In light of this fact, it is necessary to examine whether the education system, which is designed to ensure equal opportunities and enable success on every scale for every person, regardless of gender, origin, economic status, or place of residence, is performing the opposite function and serving as a tool for perpetuating class positions. Identifying the hidden and overt social mechanisms that encourage the reproduction of gaps in society, along with creating an education system that is detached from the social structure and fosters a worldview that believes in and promotes every child, will enable the reproduction of gaps to be reduced.
The question of why
Teacher training
Designed for:
Teachers
- carrier: Excellence, periphery, Reshit
Rationale: As has often been said, ""He who has a 'why' to live for can bear almost any how"" (Nietzsche). Therefore, the question of why do I do what I do? Or rather, answering this question is a necessary step in any process that we seek to carry out. We will deal with the question of 'why?' from there to 'what?' and only finally the 'how.' We will deal with the question of 'why?' from there to 'what?' and only finally the 'how.' We will then try to find answers to two central questions: Why am I an educator/teacher? What would I like to accomplish? Answering these questions will allow us to deal with practical sub-questions that we will seek to answer in subsequent meetings, such as: What is the desired character of a teacher in our yeshiva? And how can we lead a process of reducing gaps and increasing equal opportunities.
