edJEWcon LA Postcard

We are thrilled to be learning with and from a ton of local talent and will be using Twitter (#edJEWcon) during Monday to connect and share.  [If you are a Jewish Studies professional working at an LA Jewish Day School and you would like to join us, we will gladly make room!  RSVP to the above or we’ll register you same-day.]  Next week, I will share a reflection of this next exciting chapter of “learn, reflect & share”.

 

Reminder: Our first-ever membership survey is still open and we are pleasantly surprised by the level of response thus far!  You may click here if you have not yet taken it.  We are asking you to complete it by May 13th if you would like your data to be included in our report back to the field.
