Parents are Teachers
The Parents Are Teachers (P.A.T.) initiative provides schools with a golden opportunity to offer their parent body NJOP’s free programs to engage and empower them to become stronger Jewish role models for their children. NJOP staff members will help you choose from a variety of programs to positively impact your parent body. Let NJOP help you.
Parents are Teachers Programs
The P.A.T. program will give your parent body the opportunity to send a powerful message to their children, namely that Jewish education is a lifelong endeavor. By participating in educational Jewish classes of their own, parents set an example that will help their children realize the beauty of their Jewish heritage.
If you are a parent and would like your children’s school to learn more about our P.A.T. program, please let NJOP know and we will contact the principal directly.
Support for Schools and Teachers
We at NJOP are excited to offer a wide selection of different classes and programs geared toward your parent body. We recognize that now more than ever, it’s critical to empower parents with the ability to assist their children with their studies, and they can once they gain their own basic knowledge in Hebrew literacy, Jewish observance, history and holidays. As part of our Parents Are Teachers initiative, we offer you all the materials, direction and support you’ll need to positively impact your school’s parents. The P.A.T. initiative is available to all schools. Help us help you. We’re ready to work with you or your PTO’s or PTA’s.
