The Center for Excellence in Congregational Education launched its Coaches Training Institute in September, 2005. This pilot project to train central agency/board of Jewish education staff to coach local synagogues in complementary education change initiatives has created an ongoing collection of resources.
Below you will find links to documents, articles and tools, some of which were presented at the Coaches Training Institute Retreat in September, 2005, and others that have been developed for use by the Communities of Practice that have been designed and implemented for Coaches Training Institute participants.
