While visiting Seattle recently to prepare for this year’s Innovators Retreat, the JEIC team toured five of the city’s Jewish day schools and met with school faculty. During each school visit, the JEIC team offered their recently launched Intrinsic Motivation workshop series. These workshops extend educators' learning and provide teachers with student-centered learning toolkits to implement in their own schools.
"We are so grateful to our friends and colleagues at the Samis Foundation — especially CEO Connie Kanter and Director of Day School Strategy Melissa Rivkin — for partnering with us to bring the Innovators Retreat to Seattle for the first time ever," said JEIC Managing Director Sharon Freundel. "It was a privilege to visit Seattle's Jewish day school campuses and meet with administrators, educators, and community leadership. We cannot wait to see our Seattle
friends at the Innovators Retreat!"
