What are your main duties and responsibilities?
We prepare materials for the coming year, organize files, plan events and all next year school programs and assemblies, order books and materials, interview and hire teachers, inventory materials on hand, email families, schedule camp events and other summer events. I research new ideas in education, update curriculum and research new materials on the market.
What is your job title?
Director of Religious School Education.
What skills and training are necessary for your position?
I have a Master’s Degree in Educational Administration and Supervision plus many hours in Jewish studies.
Why did you choose to work here?
I moved to San Diego and was lucky to find a job at Beth Israel that was very much the same position I had in Phoenix for 23 years.
How did you end up doing the job that you do?
I became very committed to Jewish education when my children were starting in religious school and started as a volunteer. I loved that I could make a difference and was a part of something I felt was important. I had a degree in accounting and was working in a CPA firm, but wasn’t feeling connected. Teaching and then administering a religious school was much more people-oriented and meaningful to me.
