On November 5, the JEC Lower School was closed for a full faculty professional development day organized by Dr. Shira Hammerman, during which educators participated in a series of informative and collaborative sessions. The day featured a variety of topics, from innovative classroom strategies to integrating new technology in lessons, and approaches for supporting student mental health. Teachers had the chance to share insights, learn from experts and deepen their professional skills. This event was a valuable opportunity for educators to enhance their teaching practices and continue fostering a positive and engaging learning environment for all students.
