Behrman House is happy to announce the addition of Mitkadem Digital, Chai Level 7 Curriculum Core, and A Taste of Hebrew to our list of cleared and available titles.
We are reintroducing Mitkadem Digital, which will be available in the Online Learning Center (OLC) starting next week, with a few modifications from its original URJ version. In the new, OLC edition of Mitkadem Digital, one 12-month license will give a student access to the digital features of Ramot 3-23, and will be renewable yearly, so students will always be able to go back and review work done in previous years.
The OLC edition includes all existing pages and activities in every included ramah, matching the printed ramot page for page. Access to all the ramot will be through a single menu, so students can pace themselves during the year. All existing activities and resources (vocabulary lists, grammar lists, recorded features and other tools) will remain available. Students will receive automatic, immediate feedback on all fixed-answer exercises; they can screen print answers to open-ended questions to send to the teacher. The digital edition will track student log ins to each ramah, count their visits, and provide the date of latest log in. Teachers will have access to this tracking on a real time basis using their own OLC accounts.
The OLC edition of Mitkadem Digital will be available separately from the printed ramot and priced at $12.95 per person per year for access to all the ramot.
We will be helping current Mitkadem user schools set up OLC accounts and classes, purchase licenses, and enroll students. Contact us to set up a consultation appointment, and we will get you started..
Also beginning next week we will be able to offer a slightly modified version of the CHAI Level 7 Curriculum Core. Unfortunately, we do NOT have permission to sell the Torah, Avodah, or G'milut Chasadim workbooks for this level. These workbooks need to be revised before we can offer them. We have begun that process, and we expect be able to make revised workbooks available in mid-December. In the meantime, we have created a set of downloadable annotations and instructions for using the Level 7 curriculum core without the workbooks so you can implement it immediately.
A Taste of Hebrew, the pre-primer level for Alef Isn't Tough, introduces the Alef Bet to older students and adults and is available immediately.
We will begin filling backorders for these titles shortly and we have updated our full list of the titles you can now acquire from Behrman House. These can be purchased through Behrman House by phone, fax, or on our website.
We continue to work with the URJ to get permissions for the remaining URJ Press titles and we will update our cleared list weekly. We recognize how frustrating it is when the title you want is not available, and we appreciate your patience.
If you have additional questions about the transition, you can consult our FAQ page, or contact us. We'll be happy to answer all of your questions.
