What could 100 teachers, educators and principals possibly do in an Ellenville, NY, hotel on an early July morning?
Think about their students, of course.
While the latter enjoyed camps, canoeing and maybe a little whitewater rafting, the women that convened in the Honors Haven Resort spent the time exploring new and innovative ways to influence their students.
They traveled from all over the US to take part in the annual Women’s Education Conference organized by the Chinuch Office, a division of Merkos L’Inyonei Chinuch, Chabad-Lubavitch’s educational arm.
For Rabbi Nochem Kaplan of the Brooklyn-based Chinuch Office, such dedication wasn’t a bolt from the blue. The participants, he said, came “to hone their own skills, examine how they test children and why, and if what we do is [still] valid.”
Dedication to their mission was evident as these successful educators listened to tips from experts such as Dr. David Jacobson, Rabbi Yoseph Rosenblum, Mrs. Devorah Kreiman, Dr. Wilma DeMelendez, and Dr. Rochelle Green.
A dominant theme throughout the conference this year was “Differentiating Instruction: Making it a reality in every Classroom.” Organizers say they hope to move away from simply presenting fresh and exciting ideas, to fully developing a theme from concept to practice.
The Chinuch Office’s conference for men will be at the end of this month.
are there any tapes or cd’s of the speeches and sessions?

to #17, and the rest… One of the halachic tennets of tznius is NOT to wear TIGHT-FITTING clothing, according to the Shulchan Aruch. This is widely disregarded; sadly and most shamefully, by the teachers of our children among the rest. Furthermore… LET IT BE KNOWN: Slipping a skin-tight ‘shell’ under a skimpy nearly non-existent shirt is 100% UNACCEPTABLE! Note: The ‘skimpy’ shirts are designed to be JUST THAT.. skimpy, even if one manages to cover themselves, and the shells according to the Shulchan Aruch don’t constitute a proper covering. Again, using skin-tight clothing to cover the lines (elbows etc) is… Read more »

Good to see you looking busy Eli
Keep it up
Maybe learn to use spell check when you “CRITICIZE” other people for not using it.
NOTE: THAT WHEN YOU WROTE CRITICIZE YOU SPELLED IT WRONG.
Why critecize this great program?
And, learn to use spellcheck until you improve your spelling skills.
