What Research Teaches about the Possibility of Reinventing Jewish Education
Sales, Amy L.
Journal of Jewish Education, v78 n4 p316-319 2012
Reinventing Jewish education is not about tinkering at the surface level but at creating deep change, a new paradigm. Superficial change is built on existing models, but deep change dramatically breaks with the past and challenges current models, norms, values, and beliefs. A paradigm shift is a radical move and, as many have discovered, it is extremely difficult to achieve. In terms of Jewish education, the call for a new paradigm involves not only the invention of new organizations, programs, and methods, but also profound change in existing organizations, people, communities, fields of practice, and systems. This article highlights what the research teaches about change in each of these domains.
