Recently we introduced the new inclusive Gateways Haggadah: A Seder for the Whole Family to families with children of all abilities. How can we help educators use the Haggadah with their students as well?
Our partners at Gateways: Access to Jewish Education have provided us with the new Educators Guide to Using The Gateways Haggadah to help provide educators with tips and complete a seder with their students.
For example, when preparing for Passover with students you should expose them to the Haggadah.
Teachers should also familiarize their students.
You can download the full Educator's Guide here.
About The Gateways Haggadah
Welcome families with children of all abilities and disabilities to a Passover celebration that is accessible for the whole family. Step-by-step directions for every element of the Passover seder are clearly illustrated with more than 70 vibrant photographs. Each prayer’s meaning is illuminated by the use of over 150 picture communication symbols developed by Mayer-Johnson,™ the leading creator of symbol-adapted special education materials to assist individuals in overcoming their speech, language, and learning challenges. In this way, seder participants can experience Passover through clear, direct language and through rich and varied images.
This easy-to-hold, concise Haggadah is respectful to all participants, whatever their abilities, and ensures that all can take part meaningfully in a complete Passover seder that lasts about 30 minutes.
