Kadima Project Planner
The Kadima Project Planner is a template for designing project-based learning units. It guides teachers to craft essential questions, plan entry events, set deliverables, and align curriculum with skills and assessments. The planner emphasizes authenticity, student voice, interdisciplinary connections, and public exhibition.
Overarching Essential Questions: Chumash and Navi
Overarching Essential Questions frames big ideas in Chumash and Navi around morality, responsibility, theology, prophecy, and leadership. The deck invites students to wrestle with themes of sin, justice, repentance, and divine-human interaction while examining how law and narrative shape spiritual growth. It equips teachers with broad questions that push learning beyond content, fostering reflection, ethical inquiry, and critical analysis across Tanach.
Pulse: Bell to Bell With Purpose
Pulse: Bell to Bell With Purpose helps teachers design lessons that stay engaging from the first to the last minute. The deck provides a clear launch–core–close framework, combining skill-building, textual analysis, and meaning-making with purposeful assessments. It equips educators to map their class “pulse,” sustain momentum, and close lessons with impact.
Station Rotation Planning Guide
The Station Rotation Planning Guide helps teachers design lessons using three rotating stations. It provides space to define learning goals as “I can” statements, plan tasks for each station, and set measures of success. The guide also prompts teachers to think through timing, materials, and smooth student transitions.
Student-Centered Strategies Workshop
The Student-Centered Strategies Workshop introduces six practical methods—KWL Charts, Quiz-Quiz-Trade, Think-Pair-Share, “I Can” Statements, Four Corners, and Two Stars and a Wish. Teachers explore and practice two strategies in depth, reflecting on how to adapt them to their subject areas. The workshop equips educators with strategy cards, implementation tips, and resources for ongoing use.
Topical Essential Questions
Topical Essential Questions provides guiding questions for every Sefer of Tanach, helping teachers anchor learning in inquiry. The deck includes questions on sin, leadership, authority, law, and spirituality that drive analysis and reflection across Chumash, Navi, and Ketuvim. It equips educators with text-based prompts that connect Torah study to enduring themes of human struggle, morality, and identity.
