Can Mitkadem work in a small school without a large staff?
Absolutely in fact, Mitkadem works particularly well in such settings. Many small schools have mixed-age classrooms (for example, third and fourth graders together in a single classroom). Mitkadem s self-paced structure (at Ramah 3 and above) allows every child to work at his or her own pace and be engaged with material that is appropriate for his or her individual level of Hebrew. And, as explained above, Mitkadem works very well in multigenerational settings where children and adults learn Hebrew together. Because Mitkadem does not require that everyone be doing the same thing at the same time and at the same pace, it is very well-suited for a one-room schoolhouse type of setting.
