Jewish schools worldwide are facing significant challenges in recruiting and retaining qualified educators, affecting their ability to provide the quality of education they aspire to deliver. This shortage of trained educators and the obstacles to recruiting them present a serious challenge to the strength and sustainability of Jewish education, limiting schools' capacity to offer the rich, engaging Jewish learning experiences their students deserve.
UnitEd brings together educational leaders from around the world to develop actionable solutions to the educator shortage. Through collaborative discussions with our partners, we create innovative recruitment models, training frameworks, and strategic partnerships that address both immediate needs and long-term sustainability.
These efforts are already underway in initiatives across multiple regions, including teacher recruitment campaigns, new certification programs for Jewish studies educators, and comprehensive mentoring and coaching support.
