Flipping a Mishnah Class
Rabbi Sholom Ber Elishevitz
Applying the benefits of a flipped classroom to Judaic/Hebrew/Text-based studies. In a flipped classroom, students learn content online by watching video lectures, usually at home. What used to be homework (assigned problems) is now done in class with teachers and students discussing and solving questions with more personalized guidance and interaction with students. In this session, I will share examples of tools I am using with my middle school classes this year, reflecting on what is working successfully and what remains a challenge as I work on flipping my Mishna and Chumash classes.
Rabbi Sholom Ber Elishevitz teaches Middle School Mishna and Chumash at Seattle Hebrew Academy. Born and raised in Brooklyn N.Y. Studied and received Smicha at the Central Yeshiva Tomchai Tmimim. Inspired by the Lubavitcher Rebbe’s vision, in 2008 Rabbi Elishevitz (together with his wife Chaya and their children) moved to Bellevue, Washington, to serve the needs of the Jewish community as educators and youth directors at The Eastside Torah Center.
To learn more about these tools in advance of the session, please look at the tutorials below.
