Becoming a Soulful Educator

Who: Ayeka’s flagship program is Becoming a Soulful Educator. During a series of retreats, online mentorship/coaching and site visits, we train Jewish day school educators and administrators to teach Jewish studies using Ayeka’s methodology. These educators are taught how to then bring the approach to other members of the faculty, thus gradually bringing about a deeper change in the educational and spiritual culture of the entire school.

What: Ayeka’s Becoming a Soulful Educator began with training a few select schools across the country in Ayeka’s Soulful Education methodology.  Over the course of these multi-year programs, select Judaic Studies teachers will become proficient in implementing Ayeka’s paradigm-shifting Soulful Education pedagogy in their own classrooms, and will then advance to coaching other Judaic Studies staff members within their schools. The program include retreats, on-site coaching sessions, individual mentoring and virtual conversations for selected staff as well as members of the administration of each participating school.
