Q. What will the schedule be like?

A. Your registration form offers us key information about the kind of conference you are needing at this moment. Our planning committee reads and considers all of this intake information before scheduling the conference. This helps us prioritize which presenters to invite and which aspects of Jewish learning would most effectively deepen the experience. Based on previous years, we know that you can expect sessions of varying sizes and formats, with overarching threads around leadership, Jewish big ideas, and social-constructivist early childhood education (think: relationships, the Reggio Emilia approach, exploring materials, and a growing focus on nature education). Some of the most important moments at a conference happen over a walk or during impromptu conversations on the couch, and the schedule allows for this as well, respecting however you choose to participate.
