“Help! I am teaching next year! Where do I begin?”
New teachers need guidance when starting out, and Bais Rivkah Seminary will address in their Teacher Training Program this fall.
Many Lubavitcher girls around the world are walking into classrooms of pre-schools, hebrew schools and elementary schools, and many of them are unprepared. They have many questions such as… What should I teach? How do I create a good lesson? How can I have good classroom control? How can I be creative in the classsroom if I don’t feel I am a creative person? What is the best way to relate to children? What is the best way to relate to parents? How do I set up a classroom?
The new program will address all of these questions and more.
The Bais Rivkah Seminary Teacher Training Program offers students practical accredited classes, and the opportunity to student teach in real classrooms under the guided supervision of professional mentors. Students who take the program will also derive great benefit from visiting a variety of schools, observing and learning from master teachers.
Two outstanding individuals who are once again joining Bais Rivkah Seminary’s dynamic teaching staff are Rabbi Binyomin Ginsberg, noted author and educator, and Mrs. Pearl Stroh, Director of the Chabad of the Westside Early Childhood Program. Their courses aim to give the girls the tools and pedagogic edge they need to maximize their potential as they walk into a classroom environment.
Rabbi Binyomin Ginsberg will be teaching a fundamental course in Principles of Methodology – “What every Teacher needs to know before she walks into a classroom,” and Mrs Pearl Stroh will focus on early childhood education.

mind boggling how we put these young (well meaning and devoted, often talented) but completely inexperienced teachers and entrust our children’s chinuch to them! We are playing with our children’s emotional, spiritual, academic, mental etc well-being. Wake up everyone, our chinuch system is corrupt! Go visit a good public school and you will be shocked to see how much we can learn. Yes, you heard me right, a PS (let alone a good private school)! Pick yourself up, educate yourself (like I finally did) and go visit one and you will be blown away. This is an open invitation/call to… Read more »
relax, other seminaries have been doing that. I went to Chaya Mushka Seminary in Montreal and we had extensive teachers’ training for the 2 years I spent there, complete withobserving, model lessons and student teaching. I have been teaching for many years, and I am told that I am doing better than my friends who went to other seminaries.
I am so gladdened to know about this. I think every girl who teaches should be required to attend this and every Chabad school should hire girls/women who have had training. There does exist a program for kollel men to learn these skills- been around for several years already.
aren’t they supposed to learn how to teach in seminary?!when my daughters were guinea pigs for fresh-out-of-seminary teachers, i proposed that the school assign a senior teacher to be their mashpia. particularly in the first semester,there should be obligatory weekly meetings discussing all their concerns. if they are supported and encouraged, they will feel confident and do well. aren’t they supposed to learn how to teach in seminary?! when my daughters were guinea pigs of fresh-out-of- seminary teachers, i proposed to the school to PLEASE assign a senior teacher to be their mashpia. I felt that particularly in the first… Read more »
i joined the bais Rivkah teacher training program this year and I know I could never have had the tools to be an effective teacher without this! These teachers are FANTASTIC!
This program will empower every girl to become a fantastic teacher! Thank you for providing a wholesome environment for girls to earn credits and study.
go Esty!
Taking these classes has made all the difference to my daughter. She raved about the “new” Beis Rivka- a huge leap from what we have all been used to! Being accredited is an added boost! I highly recommend this program-at the very least make a telephone call and find out more.
Please put a program of this nature in place for the Rebbeim in our schools.They come straight out of 770 or kolel and don’t have a clue as to what to do.
why haven’t seminaries been doing this till now? it is disgusting that girls are not being taught how to teach. they do their best, but it is not fair to the teachers or the kids. parents pay $$$ for seminary, girls give their time — and there needs to be proper teacher training programs.
haha imagine if chabad became like yeshiva university
with liberal arts and then degrees in teaching fundraising halacha jli prison
