Join us on June 24 at 12:00 PM ET for an ECE-RJ Pop-Up ROUNDTABLE!

Together, we’ll engage in a thoughtful discussion about school policies surrounding aggressive behaviors in the classroom. As educators and leaders, we will examine our current practices and reflect on whether our policies effectively support the needs of children, families, teachers, and the classroom community as a whole.

This is an opportunity to share experiences, learn from one another, and consider how we can create environments that are safe, supportive, and responsive for everyone involved.

We hope you’ll join the conversation!

We are looking for interactive breakout sessions that inspire Jewish early childhood educators to deepen their practice, strengthen relationships, nurture joyful learning, and imagine new possibilities for our communities.

If your work speaks to play, inquiry, nature, leadership, Jewish values, creativity, or reflective practice, we hope you will consider submitting a proposal.

Join colleagues from across the country as we deepen the roots that support children, educators, and communities alike. Share your ideas, practices, and experiences that help joyful learning take root and grow.
