In this episode of Leadership Lenses, we sit down with curriculum consultant Malki Feuer to unpack one of the most complex and consequential elements of Jewish day school education: curriculum design and implementation.

We explore how schools often operate without a true learning continuum, regardless of whether they rely on purchased materials or homegrown teacher-created units. We examine why schools struggle when curricula are not aligned with mission, outcomes, or assessments and show how thoughtful processes like backward design, stakeholder collaboration, and benchmark assessments can shift schools from fragmented instruction to intentional learning trajectories.

When we invest in clarity around what students should know and be able to do and support teachers with practical tools instead of binders that collect dust, we strengthen learning, supervision, morale, and parent trust. By treating curriculum as a long-term leadership responsibility rather than a quick purchase, we can build programs that are coherent, mission-driven, and built to last.
