Exploring High-Quality Professional Development in North American Jewish Day Schools

A DEEP field research study examining how Jewish day schools support educator learning, professional growth, and school improvement.

How do Jewish day schools create the conditions for educators to learn, grow, and strengthen their practice over time? What distinguishes individual professional development activities from a coherent system of professional learning?

And what can the field learn from schools that are building effective approaches to educator growth?

The DEEP Consortium has commissioned a field research study to be conducted by independent researchers to explore these questions and develop a clearer understanding of high-quality professional development (HQPD) across North American Jewish day schools.
