TSTI Educators Attend Hidden Sparks Workshop

SOUTH ORANGE, N.J., July 31, 2017 – Early Childhood Education Director Carol Paster (far left) and Religious School Director Mindy Schreff (3rd from left) from Temple Sharey Tefilo-Israel (TSTI) in South Orange recently attended Hidden Sparks, a four-day course for educators held in Manhattan. The “Learning Lenses” courses were designed to help teachers learn how to observe, reflect, and plan for all students in their classrooms using multiple lenses—developmental, temperamental, and ecological— which form the core of Hidden Sparks’ approach to learning. The nonprofit’s purpose is to help all children reach their full potential in school and life by helping schools develop and implement better ways to support all learners. Attending with Schreff and Paster were religious school teachers Rachel Rothman, Tamar Arieh and Marge Saide. TSTI’s community preschool and religious school are open to children of all learning abilities and several of the preschool teachers are certified in special education.
