PICTURE OF THE WEEK
ARTICLE OF THE WEEK
This past Thursday, YHT hosted a team of teachers from the Yeshiva of Flatbush as part of a new program facilitated by Prizmah, to help Yeshiva day schools network and learn from one another. Groups of teachers observed classes, received a school tour and learned about the unique YHT educational philosophies and practice. The visiting teachers were impressed by our progressive, innovative approach to learning by our dedicated and skilled teachers and our cutting edge makerspace program. Tune in to this week's podcast to hear more about the visit from Rabbi David Saltzman, Director of Teaching and Learning at Flatbush, who conceived this ambitious program.
