Guideposts for Experiential Learning

Ready-to-use lesson plans help teachers guide students in active exploration of Judaism’s essential questions.

A robust set of lesson plans, coupled with a well-written, carefully designed book, forms the core of a rich and meaningful curriculum that provides relevant, engaging experiential opportunities PLUS the context needed to foster reflection, discover meaning, and create personal connection.

It also makes your professional life simple by reducing prep time.

We have created five sets of ready-to-use lesson plans that make it simple to implement a full basic Judaism curriculum—Holidays, Israel, Torah, Jewish Values, and Bible—in your elementary grades using some of our most popular student books.

Each lesson plan guides the teacher, step-by-step, through a  40- to 50-minute class, providing essential questions, learning objectives, kick-off activities, suggested readings, engaging experiential components, and relevant technology tools. Assessment tools for each subject are included in the lesson plans as well.

Combined with the matching Student Editions of each book, these lesson plans can help you implement an effective, experiential, and meaningful one-to five-year basic Judaism curriculum in your school, almost instantly.  They will allow teachers to plan quickly and feel confident about the material so they can focus on their roles as guides and mentors.

It’s a simple way to create a powerful experience.
