On-line Resources for Educators

Urj.org ~The Union for Reform Judaism (URJ)
http://urj.org/learning/teacheducate/

The URJ website has some excellent resources for teachers. A couple of examples of what the URJ site has to offer:

~ A National Teacher’s Newsletter :  V’shinantam, with articles on Adolescent Education, Technology, Special Needs and lots more

~ Reform Judaism for Teachers
A training module to familiarize teachers in Reform congregational schools with the historical background and the contemporary importance of Reform Judaism in American Jewish life.

~  A List of Useful Internet Sites for Teachers 
Many general sites for educators with tips, activities and handouts; some specifically Jewish sites for educators. Really worth some time to look around.
