EDUCATORS: TEACHING TEAMS
Tamim Academy’s educators are selected for their commitment to the holistic growth of every child and a determination to constantly evolve their own practice. They bring prior experience and professional expertise, and also participate in continuous learning of their own. All educators in the network attend summer and winter conferences as well as site-based professional growth opportunities throughout the school year.
In addition to the skills of individual teachers, Tamim seeks to build strong teams in which teachers are responsible for the areas of instruction that speak to their strengths. Educators are provided with time to collaborate as a team and ensure symmetry in the student experience.

IMAGINATION PLAYGROUND
is an innovative playground equipment system that transforms any space into a play space that encourages learning, social development, movement, and above all fun. Using Imagination Playground blocks, kids build a new world every day. Imagination Playground is made of what experts call “loose parts” that prompt children to transform their environment and create a play space of their own. Unstructured, child-directed play is a critical component of healthy social, emotional, and intellectual development.

MODERN HEBREW
Tamim employs the proficiency approach to second language acquisition., which focuses on speaking and listening in the early elementary years. In this model, students spend at least three hours a day with a native Hebrew speaker. Exposure to the language in natural contexts, such as during lunch and outdoor play, results in students who will be more likely to code-switch with greater ease. Our Modern Hebrew program will be supervised by Hebrew at the Center. Students begin to learn how to read in Kindergarten, supported by the Judaic studies teacher with the goal of students being able to access ancient Jewish texts by the end of first grade, or the beginning of second grade. The slightly separated goals of speaking and listening/reading and writing will converge as students gain fluency in each category (expected in the 2nd/3rd grade range).

Giving gifts of food is one of the mitzvot of Purim. We can help! Go to chabadaustin.org now and get your whole list done in no time! Support our campus and celebrate Purim all in one! tamimaustin.org

HEBREW LANGUAGE LEARNING
MaDYK
MaDYK is Hebrew reading program developed by Dr. Scott Goldberg, a tenured professor at Yeshiva University. Recognizing the dearth of programs based on the science of reading, Scott developed a series of assessments and then a full phonological awareness program. (Phonological awareness is the recognition of the different units of sound in a language, a critical but typically neglected part of reading instruction.) Tamim Academy will be supporting the MaDYK team to continue extending the program through the stages of beginning reading.

READ WRITE INC.

Originating in England, Read Write Inc is a two year program designed to help all children become fluent readers and writers. Students are grouped based on assessment data and move through the program at the pace that they need.

Core Skill subjects for K-1 are English literacy, math, and Hebrew literacy. Each of these subjects are taught through a sequential program to ensure eventual mastery. Teachers receive training over the summer and ongoing coaching over the school year, which includes expert review of data. Learn more about our innovative methods at tamimaustin.org

JUDAICS AND THE ARTS
The parts of Judaic studies that
are time dependent are explored through the arts. In K-1, Torah stories are experienced through the dramatic arts, holidays through the visual arts, and prayer through music. We view the arts as expressions of the soul, and therefore a perfect integration.

DEVELOPING ROOTS/THINK MATH

Singapore has long been recognized for superior math rankings and the techniques employed in schools in Singapore began to be adopted by other countries. The emphasis on children understanding mathematical processes and developing flexible number sense became the basis of the U.S.'s Common Core Standards for math. There are a few Singapore Math programs employed nationally; we have chosen a relatively new one called Think Math, which begins in 1st grade. One of the authors of Think Math created a kindergarten program called Developing Roots which is a combination of the essentials needed for success in 1st grade as well as Montessori practices.
