Project Based Learning (PBL) is a dynamic approach to learning in which participants acquire knowledge and skills by actively exploring a complex question and working on an authentic community need.

MaTaRoT: Hebrew College’s Center for Professional Learning and Leadership is your hub for professional development in Jewish Education. MaTaRoT, meaning “goals,” describes our work together: Mentoring, Teaching, Reaching Together.
Hebrew College’s menu of professional development offerings are guided by a belief that teaching is a complex and dynamic process that demands continual improvement. We believe that supporting teachers and educational leaders in congregational schools serves to deepen and broaden the experiences of the professionals, and thus the students and the families in their programs. By focusing on the intellectual and pedagogical growth of all of the professionals who interact with the students week in and week out, we are investing in improving the teaching and learning in these institutions.
MaTaRoT: Hebrew College’s Center for Professional Learning and Leadership works with selected teachers and educational directors from supplemental schools to introduce Project Based Learning into their school curriculum and structure. Originally developed under the auspices of designer-trainer Dr. Ronit Ziv-Kreger, participants learn about the principles and implementation of expeditionary projects. Working closely with an experienced consultant, each school develops learning expeditions to implement in their own settings.
On this site, you will find exemplars of excellence in Project Based Learning. These learning expeditions were developed in conjunction with and supported by MaTaRoT, and are designed for use in a supplemental school setting.
If you would like support in implementing PBL in your setting, please contact Marion Gribetz, Director of Hebrew College Educational Initiatives .
