Rachel Haller, Deborah Golden, Louis Tavecchio

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

This paper addresses the negotiations of Haredi (Jewish Ultra-Orthodox) kindergarten teachers with contemporary educational understandings as these emerge in a Haredi Enrichment Center for kindergarten children. Using the prism of Thirdspace, a close look at the themes around which the Enrichment Center and its activities were organized reveals the cultural strategies involved in the amendments that contemporary ideas and practices must undergo in order to be conceptually accepted and practically implemented by Haredi educators.
