Submitting online portfolio of collation of teaching material, videos, artifacts and portfolio of other evidence of successful teaching practices. Thorough training of teaching text, strong Jewish identity and culture in a classroom, with clear knowledge of Jewish Studies, assessments, curriculum mapping and building student centered classrooms.  There is an option for Curriculum Writing as a focus instead of teaching. One year supervision of teaching ensures quality control.

Courses are open to non-matriculated students as well, so students may take a course or an entire degree.
