Pedagogy of Partnership: Reimagining Jewish Education for the 21st Century
What is PoP?
The Pedagogy of Partnership (PoP) is an innovative research-based pedagogy for the design of relationship-centered education, led by Dr. Orit Kent and Allison Cook.
We provide cutting edge professional development to 21st century educators and organizations. Our comprehensive model enables learners of all ages to develop the habits of wonder, empathy and responsibility toward others and Torah.
We also guide learners toward using concrete tools to improve their communication and interpretive skills and be better able to seek understanding, work collaboratively and engage with their studies as ongoing sources of wisdom and instruction. Leading learners in this way can inform teaching practices across almost any subject matter or category, offering a powerful Jewish framework from which to educate and learn.
