The Israel in Early Education day will feature sessions that give hands-on experience and ideas for educators to incorporate Israel into the classroom environment through classroom design, activities, curriculum, song, food, books, etc., as well as how to engage parents of young children to both foster understanding and love of Israel and empower them with up to date knowledge about Israel.

The Israel in Early Education day is designed for educators, clergy and professionals working with children (infant through second grade) and families in Jewish preschools, day schools, supplementary schools and other educational settings. We plan to offer a variety of sessions specifically geared towards participants with differing backgrounds ranging from new to veteran, and towards participants engaged with differing age groups. Please be sure to indicate to which participants your session is targeted, indicating the educational setting, age group of children involved, and level of experience of the conference participants.

Please submit your proposal by June 14, 2018.

Hebrew College is located at 160 Herrick Road, in Newton, Massachusetts.
