For the second year, we are inviting those veteran alumni (with four or more years of experience) who currently work in day schools to join us for the RAVSAK / PaRDeS conference, Sunday-Tuesday, January 19-21, 2013, in Los Angeles. This year’s conference theme is “Moving the Needle: Galvanizing Change in our Day Schools.” The conference will address “the needs of Jewish day schools committed to pluralistic and substantive Jewish education that addresses 21^st century realities.” Participants will choose intensive workshops called “deep dives” on Monday. These “deep dives” will meet for several hours and give participants time to apply the learning to their individual situations. On Tuesday, the conference will offer workshops as well as a number of sessions specifically for area day school teachers (to which all teachers are invited). Furthermore, there will be plenary addresses, networking opportunities and times to join together as PEP alumni. For more information, please click here.
