Teaching Israel: Studies of Pedagogy from the Field

＂This book resituates teaching-the questions, dilemmas, and decision-making that teachers face-as central to both Israel Studies and Israel education. It illuminates how teachers from differing pedagogical orientations and who teach in a range of educational settings learn, understand, do, and ultimately improve the work of teaching Israel＂--
