We hope you’re having a fabulous summer term so far! Â There’s lots of work going on behind the scenes at JTA HQ.
We have been:
- representing the views of Jewish Teachers and Education professionals at the RE Council
- we’re working with Muslim and Christian teachers through the Three Faiths Forum
- and we’re doing some education and equality work with the teaching unions.
If you’d like to get involved in any of this work, at any level please email Flora on chair@jewishteachers.org.uk

If you survive the 8 days of Chanuka and all the fried food, why not make it a ninth night of fun?
Come and join the Jewish Teachers’ Association for an informal evening of food, drink, chat and networking!
It’s a pub/restaurant so you can turn up anytime and just have a drink if you’d rather eat at home.
We’ll be there from 19.30 and we’re offering a free drink to everyone arriving before 20.00!
Looking forward to seeing many new faces – special prize to anyone who can tell us how to spell Chanuka.

We have been asked to pass on details of this CPD for UK Teachers on Holocaust Education
We now have dates available for the spring term – see the list below. Just a reminder that the CPD is over two non-consecutive days, and that it is free to those who attend – they receive all materials to use in their classrooms as well as being fed throughout the two days J. Any teacher in a state secondary/middle  school in England is eligible to attend – we have a lot of RE teachers, and in some instances schools send more than one teacher. (This is a really good way for schools to develop a whole school cross curricular approach to Holocaust education.)
To register teachers need to do so on our website:Â Â www.hedp.org.uk

The bad news is that our Limmud publicity printing is stuck in the Christmas post.
The good news is that we’ve two sessions planned for Limmud Conference. Limmud is not only an amazing educational conference with something for everyone, it also tends to have lots of teachers attending.
We hope to meet lots of them at our sessions
Monday, 19:00 – 20:10
The Social Staffroom: Jewish Teachers (and Wannabe Teachers) Networking
Location: Rootes Bar
This will be the 4th annual Limmud teachers’ get together. This is the chance to meet, chat, network and share stories about how great the life of a teacher is, how we never take work home and how our pupils always do everything we tell them. We look forward to meeting old friends and new faces. Student teachers or those thinking about becoming teachers are also very welcome.
Wednesday, 19:00 – 20:10
I’m the Only Jew in the Staffroom
Location: Rootes Chancellors 1
Up and down the country, in every kind of school and educational setting, Jewish teachers are attempting to educate our nation’s young people. How does being a Jew affect your life as a teacher? What are the issues, benefits and responsibilities? Teachers and student teachers will be especially welcome as the presenters delve into the Limmud staffroom.

In May last year, Jewish teachers met to exchange and discuss ideas and resources for teaching pupils and staff about the Holocaust. The outcome was a range of suggestions for using novels, creative writing, music, drama, art, exhibitions and museums to enrich our understanding of the Holocaust. Please see the resource list attached to help you with your own ideas. We would like to make this an even more comprehensive guide to resources and welcome further suggestionsor references of material you might use this year that we can circulate. Just email us back and we’ll add your ideas to the list.
