Today was a long day. Led my group presentation on The Power of Their Ideas by Deborah Meier for Education Seminar with Melissa and Rena. We did a great job presenting this book on the concept of breaking large schools down into smaller schools within a school. For my part I divided the class into 2 groups of teachers, one from a small school and one from a regular large school and had them explore how relations with students would differ. In the small school I gave each participant a name card with their name on it and in the small school group, a card with a number. I tried to present the idea of how students become more than just a number and the personal connection small schools can create. Got good reviews.

In the evening had Women and Halacha class, was interesting we stared talking about time bound mitzvot and which women are required to do. This is a great class.
