“Because M² recognizes that the best pedagogies include the interpersonal, this experience helps educators grow closer and create a more caring Jewish community. You'll meet amazing people. You'll ask challenging questions together. You'll get wonderful feedback on your approach to education."

“M² encourages depth of thought. You sit with an idea and mull it over and let it evolve. If you're willing to take a jump into the unknown, it’s definitely worth investing your time. There are endless resources, support, and opportunities for forging connections with M² faculty.”
