The Publications and Disseminations Project, an initiative of JESNA's Learnings and Consultation Center (LCC), aims to improve the delivery of Jewish education in North America by bringing the expert procedural and content knowledge that resides within JESNA to practitioners and policymakers in the field. JESNA's research and evaluation functions - performed primarily by the Berman Center for Research and Evaluation in Jewish Education - have generated valuable lessons and useable data, which have been collected over the years through our work with communities. Intellectual capital is one of the primary resources JESNA contributes in order to lead the field of Jewish education toward consistent excellence. The role of the PDP is to leverage this intellectual capital by bringing it to the public arena using multiple media.

The PDP is comprised of three distinct series: Making Jewish Education Work, Snapshots & Insights, and Quick Bytes.

Making Jewish Education Work, our most in-depth series, aims to improve the delivery of Jewish education in North America by bringing the expert procedural and content knowledge that resides within JESNA to practitioners and policymakers in the field. Each report focuses on lessons learned about an aspect of Jewish education based on research and evaluations (performed primarily by JESNA's Berman Center for Research and Evaluation), as well as on-the ground knowledge (primarily gleaned from JESNA's LCC staff who work directly with Jewish educators in the field). These reports are vehicles through which JESNA interprets and disseminates lessons learned in the various modes of our practice as a way to enhance Jewish education delivery systems.

Snapshots & Insights is designed to disseminate emergent data and understandings. Each issue will briefly focus on lessons learned about a single aspect of Jewish Education based on research and evaluations (performed primarily by JESNA's Berman Center for Research and Evaluation in Jewish Education) as well as on-the-ground knowledge (primarily gleaned from JESNA's Learnings & Consultation Center staff who work directly with Jewish educators in the field).

Quick Bytes is the most succinct series, providing you with targeted, at-a-glance information on topics most relevant and useful to Jewish educational leadership. Each publication in this series is followed by a live webinar-- view the archived webinars at the end of each report, or This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
