J-ed Talks

What is the purpose of Jewish education?  What is the trick of Jewish education? What is the core challenge that, if navigated successfully, can lead to success in the form of student learning? What is one way to sum up this core issue? Is traditional or progressive pedagogy more appropriate? Does it even matter? Is this a false dichotomy? Maybe it is. But maybe it isn't.  Opportunity cost is what educational decision-making is all about - if you believe Dylan Wiliam (and I mean, why wouldn't you?). But what if you tried to hold both this option and that option. Is this pure indecision and insanity or is there something to it? Are there ways to turn zero-sum games (EITHER OR) into BOTH AND situations? Who knows? I certainly don't.
