THE NEW CROSSROADS: THE NEXUS OF ISRAEL STUDIES AND ISRAEL EXPERIENTIAL EDUCATION

By Anne Lanski

The iCenter for Israel Education, in partnership with the George Washington University’s Graduate School of Education and Human Development, is proud to launch a new Graduate Certificate in Israel Education. In this first-of-its kind Certificate program, cohorts of professionals will engage in serious Israel studies and integrate their learning explicitly with best practices in experiential education.

What is the impetus for this? Jewish professionals are thirsty for engaging with Israel education at increasingly academic levels. In recent surveys of over 700 alumni, 92% indicated interest in additional professional development in Israel education. This commitment for ongoing development, learning, and growth – beyond undergraduate and even graduate studies – conforms to trends in the broader marketplace for advanced academic certificate programs.
