Small-Schools Conference Scholarship
♦ by RAVSAK Staff
We are pleased to announce the inauguration of the RAVSAK Small School Professional Development Scholarship. This scholarship will make the training, networking and professional development opportunities of the RAVSAK Annual Leadership Conference accessible to educators from small Jewish day schools and small Jewish communities across North America. The Small School Professional Development Scholarship is made possible by a most generous grant from the Jacob and Hilda Blaustein Foundation. The scholarship program will provide up to 20 heads of schools with full scholarships to the 2009 RAVSAK Annual Leadership Conference in San Francisco. Expenses covered by the scholarship include conference registration fees, two night’s hotel stay and a travel stipend. RAVSAK’s leadership team is currently developing an application form in which interested candidates will evidence both financial need and a commitment to implement conference learning upon return. Conference planners are crafting new sessions specifically for those from small schools and small Jewish communities. A key component of these sessions will be a customized implementation plan that will provide a concrete way to track the difference the conference makes in the lives and work of the school leaders. The Small School Professional Development Scholarship application will be available in September to paid-up member schools with student enrollments of fewer than 100 and/or Jewish communities of 5,000 Jews or less. Information on the 2009 Annual Leadership Conference is available here. We extend our gratitude to the Jacob and Hilda Blaustein Foundation for their support.
