Hidden Sparks is grateful to its partner organizations, which have helped us develop and deepen our school-based teacher training and coaching initiatives in 21 schools in New York, and to expand to seven schools in Boston. They have helped us provide teachers with the tools and strategies to better understand and teach children with social, emotional, and learning differences, and to enhance opportunities of teachers in Jewish day schools nationwide
Bank Street College is devoted to improving the education of children and their teachers. It includes a graduate school of education, a division for continuing education, an elementary school, and a publications and media group, which creates innovative books, CDs, television programs and websites for and about children.
Internal Coaches who participate in Hidden Sparks training and mentoring are eligible to receive three graduate school credits from Bank Street College of Education.
The Churchill School, a K-12 school of approximately 400 students, is dedicated to educating children with learning disabilities in a comprehensive full-day program that, with appropriate accommodations, gives students full access to a general education curriculum.
Hidden Sparks and The Churchill School are pleased to collaborate on a model pilot to create an innovative and transformational curriculum and training program for teaching struggling students with learning differences and behavioral challenges.
Gateways collaborates with teachers, administrators and parents in day schools and supplemental schools in the Greater Boston area to ensure that all Jewish children have the opportunity to achieve their fullest potential and become successful participants in the Jewish community.
Hidden Sparks has partnered with Gateways to pilot the Hidden Sparks curriculum and coaching model in seven Jewish day schools in Boston. Funding was provided through CJP’s Peerless Excellence Project, focusing donor efforts on creating a day school community of unparalleled excellence in the greater Boston area.
The Jewish Board of Family and Children’s Services www.jbfcs.org
The Jewish Board of Family and Children’s Services provides mental health and social service programs to children, adults and families through a diverse network of community based, day treatment and residential programs.
In a pilot program funded by UJA-Federation of New York, Hidden Sparks has collaborated with JBFCS to provide Hidden Sparks training to school-based JBFCS-employed social workers.
UJA-Federation’s mission is to strengthen the Jewish community and make Jewish tradition an accessible resource for Jewish ethical and spiritual engagement. UJA- Federation’s Partners in Caring program builds community by encouraging partnerships between synagogues, schools, and social service agencies.
The Partners in Caring Program has enabled Hidden Sparks to implement its school-based coaching and mentoring model in three additional Jewish day schools during FY 2008.
