Five finalists were chosen in Bais Rivkah School’s Chinuch Tank Competition, launched a few weeks ago.
The Chinuch Tank is an innovative new competition to improve our girls’ chinuch.
Teachers had the opportunity to present ideas on how they would use $25,000 to improve the school. Five finalists were selected by a panel of independent judges (not Bais Rivkah staff), and they will present their ideas at the upcoming Embrace Live Bais Rivkah grand alumnae reunion.
Participants will vote on what they think is the best idea and should be chosen as the winner.
Thanks to a generous sponsor, the winning teacher will receive a $1,000 prize and $25,000 to implement her plan.
RSVP to reserve your spot at the reunion at www.bethrivkah.edu/embracelive.
Here are the finalists:
Mrs. Liba Rapoport
Grade 2
A unique way for teachers and parents to collaborate, ensuring that the lessons taught at home and in school complement and strengthen each other, and providing education and support for parents.
Mrs. Chaya Deitsch
Grade 8
A plan to expand a warm and personal program that has seen tremendous success in framing tznius as positive and empowering for our girls.
Ms. Chaya Zirkind
Grade 10
An initiative utilizing custom software to completely change the face of curriculum development, immeasurably improving education quality.
Ms. Miriam Elberg and Mrs. Chayale Tzukernik
Grades 10-12
A solution to the unsolvable: empowering and enabling our dedicated teachers, many of whom are also busy mothers, to invest time in their own learning and growth so that they can pass that passion and knowledge on to their students.
Mrs. Ella Lerman
Grade 12
A novel technology platform that will provide mentoring and support for our teenagers using the medium that they are most comfortable with, filling a void that is really necessary for their growth.
Hatzlacha to all the contestants!
A little disappointing to see that there is not one creative outlet proposal such as art or music education in the finalists chosen.
I assume the judges have their own agendas. Either way, may the best idea win.
Perhaps there weren’t any ideas relating to creativity or the arts? The judges were only given what was submitted…
This is a genius idea— teachers who are on the ground get to tell how they would make things better.
Will this be live streamed? Would love to hear the ideas in detail
It’s so beautiful to see teachers applying themselves for the benefit of the students.t these ideas are all so great and needed !
