TIES Israeli colleague Dr. Maya Lugassi, senior director of pedagogy and professional development at Beit Yatziv, was in Cleveland, Ohio recently as part of a delegation of Israeli educators, administrators and municipal leadership. A Jewish Federation of Cleveland (JFC) STEM educational partner in Israel, Dr. Lugassi and her colleagues met with Cleveland STEM education experts on ways to further implement STEM curriculum in Israel’s geographic and socio-economic periphery, including Cleveland’s sister community of Beit Shean and the Valley of Springs.
“The Cleveland community is a real inspiration and has given me so much energy to go back home to Israel and put all my energy into my work. It’s amazing to see the collaboration here.
