  • The 2019 Quest Conference will focus on how the social, cultural, and political climate in which we live impacts the work of professionals in Jewish day schools. Our keynote speaker, Mike Anderson, will highlight the importance of teaching empowerment, engagement, perseverance, adaptability, empathy, and self-motivation as tools for navigating an increasingly diverse and complex world. To what extent do you currently feel confident in your ability to teach/model these skills?
