Children participate in Jewish life every day, yet the deeper work of meaning, wonder, and belonging is often left unnamed or assumed to happen on its own. Educators frequently feel uncertain about how to support children’s spiritual development with confidence and care.
This workshop approaches Jewish education as critical spiritual education and offers research-based, developmentally appropriate practices for nurturing spiritual growth that offers enormous benefits the teachers and learners.
Objectives
• Define spirituality in early childhood contexts
• Describe research linking spirituality and well-being
• Identify developmentally appropriate spiritual practices
• Articulate the value of spiritual development to adults and leadership
Audience
Clergy, Parents, family engagement professionals, Early Childhood and Elementary Educators
