Religious Literacy for Educators Week

We’re excited to be spending the week with teachers from Montgomery County Public Schools for a “Religious Literacy for Educators” professional development course. We started the morning with foundational religious literacy frameworks. This afternoon, we’re hearing from three teenagers from the Jewish Community Relations Council of Greater Washington about their diverse experiences, beliefs, and practices.

Our big themes this week are recognizing the internal diversity of religions and thinking about how to support students of all religious and non-religious backgrounds in our schools and classrooms.

We’ll be visiting six other religious communities this week. Stay tuned to see where else we’ll be going!
