The Leadership Institute was a joint program of the New York School of Education at Hebrew Union College – Jewish Institute of Religion (HUC-JIR) and the William Davidson Graduate School of Jewish Education at the Jewish Theological Seminary (JTS) and was fully funded by the UJA-Federation of New York. This historic opportunity enabled HUC-JIR and JTS to join together to further the leadership capacity, pedagogic skills and Judaic knowledge of congregational school educators. This program was open to candidates from all denominations in the New York, Long Island, Westchester and the greater metropolitan area.
The Leadership Institute (LI) RE-IMAGINE iMAP is a targeted and strategic process through which a team of lay leaders, clergy and teachers engages in thinking about Jewish education and clarifying the various roles they can play in supporting innovation in Jewish education. Over the course of approximately six team sessions, participants use the tools and templates included in the iMAP to 1) articulate your vision for learning, 2) clarify your vision for learning, 3) connect to stakeholders, 4) incorporate feedback into systemic thinking and design, 5) design a pilot, and 6) organize for the implementation of the pilot.
