Resolution Adopted by the CCAR
EDUCATION, (REGIONAL DIRECTORS OF)
Digests of resolutions adopted by the
Central Conference of American Rabbis
between 1889 and 1974
It is impossible for the national staff members of the UAHC Department of
Education
to serve and to maintain close personal communication with all the
congregations
of the Reform Movement, although the need for such service is indispensable
and urgent.
The Commission on Jewish Education therefore urges the appointment of regional
directors
of education, in addition to regional consultants connected with local
Bureaus of
Education, to carry out the following functions:
Coordinate school programs in the regions.
Encourage the development of full academic programs for the senior high
school years.
Maintain a placement service, in conjunction with NATE, for educators and
principals.
Help in the dissemination of curricular materials prepared by the
Commission on Jewish
Education.
Promote and implement the programs of the national department.
Provide professional growth programs for teachers, educators, and
administrators.
Organize conferences and institutes on Jewish education for teachers.
Visit and guide schools not serviced by Reform consultants connected with
local Bureaus
of Education.
Meet with religious school boards and committees to clarify their
functions and to
discuss their specific as well as general problems and needs. (1969, p.
