This volume captures Jewish day schools in action, identifying important challenges and their responses to them. This study explores the many variations in Jewish day schools and informs readers about how styles of pedagogy have shifted dramatically both in General and Jewish Studies. It examines where new technologies are present in these schools-and where they are not. It attends to the resources brought to bear when schools seek to guide the social and emotional development of students. It explains how Jewish Studies function, what is taught, how schools find ways to integrate Jewish and General Studies, and how they provide extra-curricular options to help students demonstrate their talents in sports, the arts, Jewish self-expression, and caring for others.
