Chinuch 2.0

The Teacher Shortage crisis facing our schools is only getting worse, and many schools are desperately trying to find teachers for the coming school year.

Mrs. Naema Tenenbaum is the founder of Institution to Inspiration, a consulting firm specializing on educational excellence in private schools. In this episode, she gives us an inside look into how really bad the problem is, and how the solutions being suggested are not going to help.

Ultimately, it is up to the principals and heads of schools to develop their leadership skills which will drastically change the outcome.

The NYS Dept. of Education is back again with their guidelines regarding the education standards provided by private schools, and that spells danger for all yeshivos.

Hear why the revised guidelines are still unacceptable, who is behind these attempts to change the way education is provided by yeshivas, how Agudah and others are coming together to try and stop these regulations from taking effect, and how everyone can do their part to help.

If you haven't done so, go to voice.agudah.org right away and register your opinion against these proposals. It takes 2 minutes and every single letter counts.

We've searched long and hard to find a girls high school principal to come on our show to talk about why girls high schools exist. Mrs. Miriam Feldman is the menaheles of Temima High School for girls in Atlanta, and the wife of Rabbi Ilan Feldman, the rav of Cong. Beth Jacob. In this episode, she discussed her view on what school is supposed to accomplish for a girl, and how every facet of the school is working towards that goal. We also discussed seminary, technology, girls exposure to the world, and the subjects being taught to the girls. Wait for the end where Mrs. Feldman shares her view on the position of frum women in today's society.

Do our schools really have a shortage of qualified teachers? Mishpacha magazine recently ran a story about a teacher shortage in our schools, and some possible reasons why we are experiencing this.

Alexandra Fleksher is a writer & podcaster who speaks about current issues facing our community, and I liked what she had to say on the matter.

In our conversation on this episode, she brings us clear evidence that this is a serious issue and not something that will disappear anytime soon. We also spoke about possible solutions to the teacher shortage, which is only going to get worse if nothing is done about it.

I get asked by a lot of people why I do this show, so I took the time to record a solo show with my thoughts about the subject and some suggestions on how we can save the system from imploding. At the end of the episode, I share a radical approach that can possibly work, but it would take a few daredevils with great courage to pull off.
