Reflective practice is widely acknowledged as a critical component to meaningful learning. Curriculum designers often rely on journals and diaries as the primary reflection tools for students to express understandings and questions. Avoda's Deb Krivoy is working with Temple Israel Center in White Plains, NY, to develop a series of arts-based reflection tools that support whole-person learning. Contact us to learn more about our innovative approaches to reflection through art, photography, poetry and video.

 

where young people come together to learn about art and media, and through taking photographs, viewing films, building sculpture, and writing stories, they connect with meaningful Jewish content. Imagine that in this place, educators get valuable training and relevant tools to infuse the arts into their unique programs. Imagine that when participants leave this place, they take with them personally meaningful ideas about Jewish life and traditions to share with their friends, family and community.

 

Welcome to the Arts Across the Curriculum series.


Tapping into the multiple ways that people learn and communicate, this vibrant curriculum series uses photography, film, visual art, music and theatre as powerful entry points into Jewish learning – providing dynamic opportunities to experience how cultural interests and Jewish identities can be fused in practice.
