To get those results, Coalition Educators are applying four design principles that have been identified as essential by the Lippman Kanfer Institute’s Redesigning Jewish Education for the 21st Century.
The Design Principles create learning that:
Fosters caring, purposeful relationships because, “to fulfill the purposes of Jewish education... that draws on and nurtures the yearning for connectedness.”
Responds to the questions, challenges, and meaning of everyday life because “today’s learners need guides to help them uncover the answers to everyday experiences.”
Enables meaning through inquiry, problem solving, and discovery, because “the involvement of learners in shaping their educational experiences will produce more authentic, powerful learning.”
Conveys rich content and is accessible because, “in order to make Jewish literacy vital for today’s learners, we must provide them with experiences rich in Jewish content, presented in inviting and engaging ways.”
The stories in this issue provide a vivid picture of powerful learning. LOMED for the 21st century is learning that moves to life.
