Ivriyon

Hebrew Immersion Program for Day School Teachers

July 1–25, 2013 / 23 Tammuz – 18 Av 5773

Participate in the Ivriyon Hebrew-immersion program for day school teachers.

The William Davidson Graduate School of Jewish Education and the Department of Hebrew Language of JTS are offering a unique opportunity in the summer of 2013. Fifteen qualified day school teachers will be able to enter a four-week long Hebrew-immersion program for teaching the Judaic curriculum in day school grades kindergarten through twelve.

By participating in Ivriyon, you will learn to:

  • Create a Hebrew environment in your classroom
  • Lead discussions in Hebrew with your students
  • Write grammatically correct exercises and instructions
  • Help students articulate ideas and feelings in Hebrew
  • Converse comfortably with your Israeli colleagues

Ivriyon graduates will be assigned a mentor to assist them in applying their skills for teaching in Hebrew throughout the school year. The Ivriyon program is subsidized by a grant from the AVI CHAI Foundation and is cosponsored by the William Davidson Graduate School of Jewish Education. There is a $50 application fee, and $100 registration fee. Tuition is subsidized and out-of-town participants receive free accommodations in JTS dormitories.
