  • Mapping Hebrew Education in Public Schools
    MAPPING HEBREW EDUCATION IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS: A Resource for Hebrew Educators WORKING PAPER SHARON AVNI AVITAL KARPMAN SEPTEMBER 2019 SEPTEMBER At the George Washington University’s Graduate School of Education and Human Development (GSEHD), we advance knowledge through meaningful research that improves the policy and practice of education. Together, more than 1,600 faculty, researchers and graduate students make up the GSEHD community of scholars. Founded in 1909, GSEHD continues to take on the challenges of the 21st century because we believe that education is the single greatest contributor to economic success and social progress. The Consortium for Applied Studies in Jewish Education (CASJE) is an evolving community of researchers, practitioners, and philanthropic leaders dedicated to improving the quality of knowledge that can be used to guide the work of Jewish education. The Consortium supports research shaped by the wisdom of practice, practice guided by research, and philanthropy informed by a sound base of evidence. AUTHORS Sharon Avni, PhD, CUNY (BMCC) Sharon Avni is Associate Professor of Language and Literacy in the Department of Academic Literacy and Linguistics at CUNY-BMCC. Avital Karpman, PhD, University of Maryland, College Park Avital Karpman is Associate Clinical Professor of Hebrew and Director of the Hebrew Program at the School of Languages, Literatures and Cultures at the University of Maryland, College Park. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS We wish to acknowledge the substantial help and encouragement we received from Dr. Peter Friedman z”l of the Jewish United Fund of Metropolitan Chicago, who passed away before this report was completed. SUMMARY AND BACKGROUND In the past decade, there has been a resurgence in the study of Hebrew in traditional and charter public schools.1 However, the types of schools teaching Hebrew and the demographics of students studying Hebrew do not resemble those of earlier iterations of public school Hebrew programs that trace back to the early 20th century.
