August may seem like a lifetime away, but here at Behrman House we're already preparing for the upcoming CAJE conference--especially our workshops. This year we have designed our busiest workshop schedule ever, and we're sure that it will be of interest to educators and principals. Of course--just in case you don't save back issues of the Open Lion--all our workshops will be listed on the back cover of the conference program.
Terry Kaye will present a brand-new workshop on our groundbreaking book, Shalom Uvrachah--The New Hebrew Primer. She and Gila Gevirtz will co-present a workshop on the eight models of family education, and Gila will bring her rich experience in writing and teaching children about God to her workshop entitled The Classroom as a Nurturing Spiritual Environment. Of special interest to education directors is David Behrman's presentation, Managing Your Board of Trustees and Your Education Committee, in which he will explore strategies for bringing a Board or an Education Committee into the educational process in a productive way. (Simply put: How to get what you want from your Board.)
Rabbi William Cutter has two interesting sessions planned-one on teaching Parashat Hashavua (we'll be unveiling our new book--Parashat Hashavua: Reading Genesis--at CAJE) and the other on therapoetics for teachers. (If you want to know what this means, well, you'll just have to go to the workshop.) Kathy Bloomfield, President of For Words Books, brings her extensive knowledge of children's literature to her two workshops--one on discussing difficult issues using children's literature, and the other on bringing God into the classroom with children's literature.
Rabbi Steven Z. Leder, author of the just-published The Extraordinary Nature of Ordinary Things, is sure to move you as he explores ways to make the Torah a living document in our lives today, and as he examines how adversity and tragedy can strengthen faith. Finally, Seymour Rossel, author of over 15 Behrman House books, will show us how to teach the Holocaust 50 years later, and how to combine teaching Torah with Jewish values.
Don't forget to stop by our booth in the exhibit hall to see the ten new titles we've published in the past few months. We're looking forward to seeing old friends, and making new ones, among the 2,000 CAJEniks expected at Ohio State.
