09 December · 19:30 – 22:00
Don Fernandez, 56 The Burroughs, Hendon, London, NW4 4AN
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.
Holocaust education CPD – for free
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: www.hedp.org.uk

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.

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.
