Professional development as a catalyst for community change

“We now know that a combination of shared language, flexibility, and attention to network-building is sowing the seeds of profound impact for the broader Montreal Jewish community, both for its institutions and the individual Fellows.”

The first of four articles about the Passport to Jewish Life Fellowship, an 18-month professional development program for leading educators in Montreal. Fellows gain conceptual ideas and practical tools to strengthen their work, build a collaborative community, and develop a shared language for educational practice. The Fellowship is supported by Federation CJA and The Passport to Jewish Life Funders Collaborative and powered by M²: The Institute for Experiential Jewish Education.
