Thinking About Chinuch: January 2014
http://jewishedd.blogspot.com/2014_01_01_archive.html
Essays and musings on the state of Orthodox Jewish Education, with some tech-stuff thrown in for good measure. Wednesday, January 8, 2014. Why PBL is Hard for Students. If you have ever had an obsessive notetaker in your class, then you know full well what I am referring to. Think about that student who writes down every word that you say, and constantly raises his or her hand to make sure that they wrote down exactly the right thing. Why do students do this? Monday, January 6, 2014. Several well-respect...

My youngest child is about to begin second grade (where did the time go? And while that may not seem like the most momentous change that is happening in my house this school year - our oldest is headed to high school, after all - in some ways this is a game-changing moment that is about to take place.

Thinking About Chinuch: August 2014
http://jewishedd.blogspot.com/2014_08_01_archive.html
Essays and musings on the state of Orthodox Jewish Education, with some tech-stuff thrown in for good measure. Monday, August 25, 2014. Think before you call. David McCullough, in his masterful biography of President Harry Truman. What is so wrong with this? Don't schools constantly speak about wanting to partner with parents in the education of their children? Aren't we happy that parents take an interest in what is going on in school? In other words, the child has not had the chance to speak with the t...

Thinking About Chinuch: Half Shabbos and the Dread of Pesach
http://jewishedd.blogspot.com/2011/04/half-shabbos-and-dread-of-pesach.html
Essays and musings on the state of Orthodox Jewish Education, with some tech-stuff thrown in for good measure. Monday, April 11, 2011. Half Shabbos and the Dread of Pesach. About 7 months ago, Professor Alan Brill wrote a blog post. From my perspective, the issue with half-Shabbos is how it can be prevented. In a lecture that spoke to this issue, Rabbi Jonathan Rosenblatt of Riverdale spoke about the need to re-capture Shabbat for our children. But what do our kids hear? As with Shabbat, are we communica...

Dov Emerson's As Of Yet Untitled Blog. A Twitter Visit In Real Life My Time with @NMHS Principal. On March 15, 2012. Cross posted on YU 2.0. A few weeks ago, I had an incredible opportunity, that, while very much a ‘real world’ experience, had as much to do with the online world of social media connections as it did face to face ones. Allow me to explain. Thus began my journey into the world of a PLN (Personal Learning Network). Facilitator Rabbi Yehuda Chanales. What follows are some of my initial thoug...

Dov Emerson's As Of Yet Untitled Blog. Parenting Like a Principal. On December 26, 2012. Today, as I sat with a child in my office, one of the most fascinating discussions of my entire career began to ensue. Mind you, this particular student wasn’t kicked out of class, or called in for cutting. As a matter of fact, he’s not even enrolled in our high school. This was my 5th grade son, affectionately referred to on Twitter as EmerKid2. When I returned, EmerKid2 was in much better spirits (coincidentally, m...

Thinking About Chinuch: Jedcamp on a roll
http://jewishedd.blogspot.com/2014/09/jedcamp-on-roll.html
Essays and musings on the state of Orthodox Jewish Education, with some tech-stuff thrown in for good measure. Tuesday, September 9, 2014. Jedcamp on a roll. It started so simply. Back in late 2012, a number of educators in South Florida organized the first ever Jedcamp, or Jewish Edcamp. Playing off of the still-young-but-gaining-steam "unconference" model of Edcamp. Came north, and a future Jedcamp planner from the West Coast. A founder of Edcamp, attended Jedcamp in San Francisco and became a source o...

Thinking About Chinuch: The Triangle Offense and Packaged Curricula
http://jewishedd.blogspot.com/2015/02/the-triangle-offense-and-packaged.html
Essays and musings on the state of Orthodox Jewish Education, with some tech-stuff thrown in for good measure. Wednesday, February 4, 2015. The Triangle Offense and Packaged Curricula. How could this be? How could something that worked so well for so long suddenly fall flat on its face in New York? It's not as if Jackson coached in low-pressure smaller markets before this - his championships came in Chicago and Los Angeles, the next two largest media markets in the country. If the system was designed...
