Pedagogy and Inservice Credit: Everything that is taught constantly emphasizes teaching strategies and methodology.
To date, Mercaz (BJE Toronto) grants, for each summer, two full-year credits in the Midrasha L'Morim and for credential upgrade.
The Jewish Agency will grant 36 NY Board of Regents recognized university credits (32 upper level) after successfully completing an oral exam that can be sent on a CD (a fee is charged). After the first year, all Jewish Agency students also automatically earn a temporary Hebrew teacher's license from the national board of license. After successfully completing the supervised inservice and second year, Jewish Agency students qualify for a permanent teaching license.
Gratz College grants 7 course credits per summer.
As well, certain individual schools and synagogues grant professional development credit and salary enhancement for study at the School for Shamashim. Finally, some schools and synagogues will provide subvention scholarships for their teachers. We will assist you in arranging credit in your locale. |
