Learning Opportunities for Milwaukee Educators
Overview
LOMED offers free professional development classes for all educators and madrichim working in Milwaukee Jewish schools. These engaging sessions are taught by a range of scholars, educators, and respected community voices, bringing fresh ideas and meaningful insights into Jewish education.
Educators who complete 10 hours of training are eligible for a $300 stipend (available to those working in Milwaukee-area Jewish schools). Each class = 1 credit hour.
