Contact Michelle Brooks for more information.

The Jewish Education Fair is sponsored by CAJE in cooperation with
the St. Louis Jewish Educators' Council.

 


CAJE offers teachers a variety of opportunities for professional development on both a local and national level.

TEACHER TRAINING OPPORTUNITIES

In-service Teacher Training is offered through programs such as the Teacher Certification Program.  Recognizing the depth of the need for teacher training, the CAJE provides additional training opportunities such as: on-site teacher training at schools, training and consultation for educational directors, and mentoring program. 

 

Education Fair

Jewish community teachers participate in the annual education fair that is held for Hebrew school and religious school educators. Workshops, networking sessions, and opportunities for text exploration provide new and experienced teachers with additional information and skills.

Each year we strive to bring you the very best presenters and topics to instruct and inspire you in your classroom.  As you look over the workshop selections, consider taking a workshop with a topic that is new to you, or with a presenter that is new to you.

You may already be enrolled in the Teacher Certification Program and if so, we will be delighted to help you fulfil a requirement so you can quickly earn a cash arrival bonus.

Most important, enjoy this gift of a day of learning — it was created for you!  It will replenish your creative wellspring and your students will reap direct benefits from your efforts.

For more information, contact Michelle Brooks, Director of School Services, at (314) 442-3774.
