How do field placements work?
In year one, students will visit a variety of cutting-edge Jewish and secular organizations to observe, meet educational leaders, and work on projects. In year two, students will be placed in an organization for a year, working approximately 20 hours per week, observing and participating in meetings, events, and meaningful projects. Students will report to a mentor who will provide supervision, guidance, and learning opportunities throughout the year. Students will enroll in an integrative and professional seminar connected to their field placement designed to provide opportunities to reflect on fieldwork and to connect theory and practice. Students will be able to learn and gain insights from their fellow students’ field placement experiences.
