Mayberg Foundation grantee clients featured in eJewish Philanthropy
/Mayberg Foundation grantee clients Rabbi Mitch Malkus (head of school at Charles E. Smith Jewish Day School) and Lianne Heller (executive director of Sulam) were published in eJewish Philanthropy today.
Their co-authored article, “Designing exceptional learning for all students: A collaborative approach,” maintains, “Research has shown that when students have agency in their own learning they become independent, resourceful, and motivated lifelong learners and critical thinkers who ultimately become expert citizens.”
The Mayberg Foundation is proud to be a lead investor and thought partner with Charles E. Smith Jewish Day School, the nation’s largest independent pluralistic Jewish day school, and Sulam, a Jewish special education inclusion program in the Greater Washington area. Together, the partners have established an exciting partnership to create a prototype for Jewish schools in which personalized learning is the underpinning of the educational philosophy and methodologies used to guide teaching and learning.
