MANAGING HEBREW THROUGH PRAYER
The Educational Director's Guide
By Terry Kaye

"I am in awe of The Educational Director's Guide. I based my opening in-service day on the material, and sent home the introductory letter to parents at the beginning of the year. Last year we used the worksheets, and the students got grades in the 90s. The teacher was glowing--she couldn't believe how much she had taught them in a year! Marna Meyer Assistant Education Director Temple Emanuel Houston, TX This practical guide to managing Hebrew Through Prayer was written specifically for the educational director and the Hebrew supervisor. Use it to organize and manage Hebrew Through Prayer in a way that guarantees the successful fulfillment of your school's unique set of goals. Acquaint parents and the school board with your Hebrew program. Everything you need to explain the series to parents and board members: the intent and purpose of the series, its pedagogic objectives, key milestones--they're all here. Write the goals for each grade level. A detailed listing of the prayers, roots, prefixes, vocabulary, and key prayer concepts in each book enables you to set the goals and define the skills your students will acquire at each grade level. Teach ethical concepts. Prayer concept charts explain to teachers and students the key concepts and values behind each prayer, and why the prayer is included in the service. Provide techniques to enliven classroom instruction. Games, activities for reading review, cooperative learning opportunities, and techniques to teach students with different learning abilities. Continue learning at home. Ready-to-photocopy letters to parents provide background information about the prayers being studied in class; family activity sheets encourage parent participation. This comprehensive manual is an essential element of the Hebrew Through Prayer series. $29.95 (657)
