RAB 632 Teaching Rabbinic Texts
This course focuses on developing pedagogic content knowledge and skills for teaching rabbinic texts. We will consider the issues that arise when we prepare to teach rabbinic texts in a variety of settings, using selected texts to understand and respond to challenges. Topics include: teaching rabbinics per se vs. drawing on rabbinic texts to teach a topic; teaching halakha as an outcome or a process; teaching texts in or apart from their literary.
