Chidush Awards
Recognizing local educators who creatively design and execute innovative Jewish educational experiences and share them with the community.
Our mission is to reward the efforts of Boulder’s Jewish educators to innovate and share outstanding teaching ideas, while building the Chidush virtual lesson plan library and teacher resource section at HaSifria, Boulder’s Jewish library at the BJCC. Past, present and future Jewish educators and creative thinkers are encouraged to submit ideas that inspire a commitment to Jewish values and love of Jewish learning. The Chidush Awards and the virtual lesson plan library are initiatives of 18 Pomegranates in cooperation with HaSifria and the Colorado Agency for Jewish Education (CAJE).
- Are you a creative thinker?
- Are you an inspiring teacher?
- We're looking for you …
Please consider submitting up to three of your innovative lesson plans. Those whose ideas are selected for inclusion will receive a stipend in recognition of his/her innovative idea(s) and in appreciation of his/her commitment to submit lesson plan(s) for the benefit of other teachers and students in the community. Educators who have more than one submission selected will receive an additional stipend for each additional lesson. Finally, each winner will also have the opportunity to designate a donation to a Boulder Jewish non-profit organization and all winners will be recognized at the Chidush Awards Reception held annually. The next Chidush Awards program is scheduled for April 19, 2009.
