In the most recent Virtual Salon, we were joined by Leora Smith (MAT, ’20) to discuss the importance of bringing multiple voices into the classroom and honoring a diversity of narratives. She stressed that empathy is at the root of this educational practice and urged participants to use that framework to approach their own work. The conversation shifted from bringing in diverse narratives into the American Jewish history class to Israel education curricula, while also addressing the need for institutional alignment and effort to ensure this thread is woven throughout school programming, culture, and academics.
