Setting personal goals for the classroom teacher
Teacher training
Designed for:
Teachers
- carrier: Reshit
The goals of the meeting are to focus on goals, to become familiar with practices, and to acquire practical tools to achieve the goals. This meeting will deal with setting goals for each classroom teacher for her own classroom. We will do this using projective tools from the world of visual images. At the beginning of the meeting, we will get into the atmosphere by choosing a tool from a tool sheet that the teacher feels she needs for the coming week in her classroom and explain why – this is how we get into the subject, it will be both a little funny and a little liberating. After that, we will really dive in with the help of drawing to define the personal goals of each classroom teacher for her classroom. And finally, we will get to know the practices that Keren Leon, the head of the primary program, defines for classroom teachers and discuss them.

The workshops deal with excellence as a value, and their goal is to stimulate thinking, develop attitudes, and provide tools aimed at cultivating excellence. Among the workshops you will find an engagement with the distinction between excellence and excellence, the benefit behind the pursuit of excellence, the distinction between fixed learning and developing learning, failures as a lever for success, the professions of the future and their requirements, and more. The workshops are diverse in content and methods - they incorporate conversation cards, songs, films, videos, games and play, an invitation to creative expression, and more. The diversity allows the workshops to be delivered to students out of interest, at eye level, while encouraging active learning, and also allows for an optimal connection to the teacher/facilitator who delivers them. In addition, each unit is accompanied by a relevant article, intended for educators and inviting further in-depth study.

A place is a blessing to its inhabitants.
Lesson plan
Designed for:
Seminaries, communities
- carrier: Memizrach Shemesh
A place of residence is much more than a physical environment, which provides protection from the forces of nature, dangers, and more. The system of connections between a person and the place where he lives consists of physical, emotional, and social needs. This system results in a special emotional connection created between a person and the place where he grew up and lives, a connection that exists naturally for every person regardless of the nature or geo-social status of the place. People's feelings of identification, belonging, and love for the place where they live do not depend on the geo-social status of the place, but a gap can often be found between the social attitude toward people living in a place with a low geo-social status and who feel a connection to the place and the social attitude toward identification of people living in a place with a high geo-social status. The gap in relation to the sense of belonging due to the geo-social status of the place leads to difficulty for those people to explain the reasons for their love of the place and even to internalizing the negative external perception. The natural connection and connection that a person has with his place of residence is a connection that provides a sense of belonging, pride, and the power to act for the benefit of the place and its inhabitants. Identifying the feelings of identification, affection, and strengthening the local forces that form the foundation for these feelings, along with identifying social processes that determine the low geo-social status of the place, will contribute to the development of the place, to people's sense of connection and belonging to it, and to their ability to explain it.
The role of parents in educating their children
Lesson plan
Designed for:
Seminaries, communities
- carrier: Memizrach Shemesh
The education system expects parental involvement and sees this involvement as a condition for the success of the educational process. This involvement should be expressed, in the perception of the school, in certain actions such as participation in parent meetings and school activities, representation on the class committee, continuous contact with teachers, etc. An education system may create a situation in which parents from economically and class-disadvantaged social strata are perceived by society and the education system as parents who are not caring and involved enough in their children's education because they are often not active in this way. A deep and sensitive examination of the difficulty of these parents can reveal that it does not stem from a lack of interest or unwillingness to be involved, but from the way in which the education system measures parental care and involvement. The judicial conduct towards them labels, weakens, and excludes these parents in a way that does not allow them to make their voice heard, and creates in them alienation from the system and avoidance of involvement and sometimes even aggression towards it. The school has a significant role in education, but parents have a more crucial role in educating their children. The foundation for education and learning is built at home. Respectful treatment of the educational foundation provided by the home, every home, without labeling of economic or class status will enable cooperation and prevent further weakening of parents. Respectful treatment depends on the ability to listen to these parents, to open up to the culture and language they bring with them, and to the ways in which they express themselves.

My inner point as an educator
Teacher training
Designed for:
Teachers
- carrier: Reshit
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.
The communication model
activation
Designed for:
Teachers
- carrier: Reshit
Boys and girls grow up and develop in different cultural environments, belong to different socio-economic classes, to different ethnic and national groups. How do these associations affect the relationship between the school and parents? Our goal is to broaden the perspective and observe what is hidden from sight, to reveal the mechanisms that have a fundamental impact on informal power relations. A critical reading of the hidden text that shapes, perhaps unconsciously, the encounter between parents and teachers.
