This past Monday, while students were cherishing their extra three hours of sleep after a long winter break, KYHS faculty trudged into work for a professional development focused on how to motivate students to learn without an emphasis on grades. The session was organized and run by Rabbi Joshua E. Grajower, who said, "we want students to appreciate learning without a focus on grades and to retain material after the specter of an assessment has receded." The program consisted of three different presentations from Rabbi Grajower, Rabbi Jonathan Y. Kroll, and Mrs. Ora Lee Kanner and the faculty look forward to implementing some the ideas they learned about.
