The Educators Assembly, educational arm of the Conservative United Synagogue of America, adopted a program today aimed at alerting the American Jewish community to the critical shortage of educational personnel and calling for intensification of Hebrew high school education as a means of developing a source of new teachers and leaders.
The organization, which concluded its 14th annual convention here today, also adopted resolutions calling on constituent synagogues to include in their budgets special subsidies which would permit educational personnel to participate in refresher courses, sabbatical leaves, study programs, studies in Israel and in-service training, and to establish improved standards of welfare whereby the educators’ status would be raised to a level commensurate with the importance of their work. Dr. Norman Schanin, educational director of the Forest Hills Jewish Center in New York, was reelected president of the Educators Assembly.
