In this episode of Rak Rega- Just A Minute: Teachings and Inspirations From Master Educators, host Darone Ruskay continues his conversation with Rivy Poupko Kletenik— a 2002 Covenant Award Recipient and the Head of School at Seattle Hebrew Academy.

In this weeks episode, Rivy discusses the teacher induction program at her school, and the work that they did at the Seattle Hebrew Academy to gain a communal vision of what good teaching looks like and to create an atmosphere where teachers can learn from and with one another to become better educators.

In this episode, Rivy discusses her vision for an integrated educational experience, bringing the Jewish Education and the General education that goes on in a school together  to help students combine their personas.

We hope you will enjoy these periodic “Rimonim” episodes which will provide you with the opportunity to listen to master educators teach a text that is important to them.
