We work together as a team, creating a positive work environment. We are attentive and responsive to our learners, creating a warm and nurturing community where each child feels included and accepted. We interact with the children to support learning through exploration and play. We facilitate children's social competence and ability to learn through interacting with others. We build rapport with parents through effective communication. We design classroom schedules that are consistent and predictable, with transitions that are handled calmly and with planning and communicated using a picture schedule. We use visuals to decrease anxiety and increase confidence and self-regulation. We are inspired by the schools of Reggio Emilia, focusing on making the experiences, ideas and learning of the children visible, launching studies responsive to the children's interests, devoting time to observing children, documenting observations and reflecting together as teaching teams. We build Jewish identify, culture and values. We facilitate key Jewish experiences for children such as Havdalah, Shabbat, visiting a Sukkah and shaking a Lulav, a Tu B'Shvat Seder, a Purim costume parade and more. Ritual objects become familiar to the children as do Hebrew words and songs and Jewish stories. We support each other in ever moving forward toward a more just world, through anti-racism, gender inclusivity and more. We incorporate the four goals of anti-bias education, supporting our learners as they celebrate their own identity as well as learn about the identities of others, building on that knowledge and experience to stand up for themselves and others in the face of unfairness or prejudice. We have supportive coaching, professional development, and paid prep time so we can do our job well.
