Hidden Sparks

Hidden Sparks is a nonprofit whose mission is to help educators and schools nurture the hidden spark within each student. We do this by developing and facilitating professional development programs and coaching for Jewish day school educators to deepen their understanding of learning and approaches for teaching all kinds of learners, particularly those who struggle. By working with educators and coaching internal school leaders, we are committed to increasing the capacity of Jewish day schools to address the varied needs of learners so that all students thrive.
A highlight was the the “Learning Lenses” course, which incorporates a significant amount of experiential learning and group activities.
The award-winning program for teachers and administrators takes place on July 20, 21, 25 and 26 at the Chelsea Shul in Manhattan.
Tamar Appel joins Hidden Sparks after a long tenure at Ma’ayanot Yeshiva High School for Girls in Teaneck, New Jersey, where she has been serving as associate principal for more than a decade.
The Hidden Sparks parent education center will be the first of its kind opened for Queens yeshiva and Jewish day school parents.
Responding to national education crisis, “Hidden Sparks” unites nearly 100 U.S. teachers for two-week summit.
