JESNA culminated this year with a number of notable achievements, including:

• The Berman Center for Research and Evaluation provided valuable consulting services to nearly 40 clients in a wide variety of settings and locations, helping to improve Jewish education across the spectrum.
• The updated and fully-searchable Sosland Online Resource Center continues to be expanded to include an ever-growing database of resources and publications, in more than thirty topical categories, on "what works" in Jewish education
• The dissemination of JESNA's groundbreaking "Educators in Jewish Schools Study" (EJSS) created the opportunity for decision-makers in schools and communities to base policy and programming decisions regarding teachers on empirical data for the first time in many years.
• The Lippman Kanfer Institute worked with dozens of communities and education leaders to put into action the design principles and strategies for change laid out in its working paper, "Redesigning Jewish Education of the 21st Century" and more than 1,800 synagogues were directly impacted by change initiatives led by our partners in this work.
• More than 1,500 educators and professional development specialists subscribed to PD Notes, a component of the Professional Development Center funded this past year by a supplemental allocation from the Alliance, for up-to-date, user-friendly information on PD opportunities and developments.
• NAACHHS, the North American Association of Community Hebrew High Schools, operating under JESNA's auspices, continued to nurture and support 54 member schools with resources, best practices, professional networks, and new solutions.
• Continuing support for communities and community-based educators through our work with the Association of Directors of Central Agencies, other professional networks, collaboration with organizations such as PEJE and UJC, and consultations and presentations for communities including New York, Baltimore, Detroit, Boston, Philadelphia, Cleveland, MetroWest, San Francisco and Denver.
