Rabbi Moshe Wiener, fourth grade Rebbe in Cheder Chabad of Monsey, shared his experiences and ideas with a teachers training program Sunday at Crown Condos in Crown Heights.
Rabbi Wiener has gained a reputation as one of the finest young mechanchim in Chabad today, COLlive was told, and he traces much of his success to the 5768 Training Program of the Menachem Education Foundation.
“I was in the first cohort of the program,” explains Rabbi Wiener. “None of us really knew how it would turn out, but we were pleasantly surprised at the level of sophistication that the program offered. It was an honor for me to be able to come back and share with the guys some of the methods and innovations that I use in my classroom.”
Rabbi Wiener showed the 5770 trainees how to use a method known as 1-2-3 Magic to achieve proper discipline in the classroom. He also showed how a little creativity and innovation can go a long way in helping with classroom management.
“Our teachers are shaping the future of Jewish education!” exclaims Rabbi Zalman Shneur, executive director of the Menachem Education Foundation.
“Everything that our trainees learn is practical and hands-on; every part of the program is rooted in the practical realities of the classroom, not in some ivory tower.”
The class of 5770 was appreciative of Rabbi Wiener’s visit and lesson. The 3 hour workshop was filled with practical solutions and advice to everyday issues that present themselves in the classroom.
According to a current trainee, Rabbi Shua Lustig, “It really showed us how everything we have learned is practical and hands-on, and can be adapted to fit into every classroom. That’s really the value of this program – the hands-on and practical element.”
The Menachem Education Foundation was established to raise the bar of Jewish education and says the quality of the educator is the most important part of a quality education.
The Foundation runs a Teacher Training Program for aspiring educators, The DaniEL Student Teaching Initiative and a Principal Leadership Program for current principals.

UR doin a gr8 job! keep up the gr8 work!
Where it comes from, there it goes back 😉
There where over 25 slides during the 3 hour presentation, to judge something by one slide, is poor judgment. I wonder whether you are/were an teacher?
itche rivkin, You should have gone to the course before judging what you see on one whiteboard. Maybe you should join the program and you will see where it says “YES” to all the children as well as the no’s! 😉
the only things that you have on the borad is saying no, turning away a child, what about saying yes with a smile, or even when you have to say no, say it with a smile. what about a nice good morning to child, hey you never know what type of night and morning he has had since you let him go home the day before. maybe he had nothing to eat for supper do to lack of funds. maybe he has a large family in lives in a 2 bedroom with 3 bunkbeds and a crib. maybe he lives… Read more »
