Learn with The CJM

Welcome! We're so glad you’re here. While The CJM’s galleries are temporarily closed, we invite you to continue learning with us through educator resources and other opportunities. We invite you to explore below.

Please direct questions to schools@thecjm.org.

Resources

Teacher resources at The CJM cultivate cultural sensitivity and awareness, provide enriching creative arts experiences, and share multifaceted Jewish stories.

Teaching about Jewish life and creating connections to Jewish stories, people, and culture are vital to preventing antisemitism. The CJM’s resources teach students about Jewish life in age-appropriate ways while integrating seamlessly with grade-level curriculum and supporting teachers in creating culturally welcoming classroom environments for all students. 

Resources for grades K–5 incorporate Jewish author biographies, community immigration stories, and Jewish culture and celebrations, while including space for conversation and centering intercultural connection. Resources for grades 6–12 include a focus on contemporary Jewish culture, explorations of identity through art, and discussions about antisemitism, including but not limited to Holocaust education. 

During The Museum’s temporary closure, our previous school tour pages have been converted into resource pages. On these pages, you can discover curricula and videos that are ready for classroom integration.

 

 

The CJM is proud to be a recipient of the 2022 Superintendent's Award for Excellence in Museum Education, awarded jointly by the California Association of Museums and the California Department of Education, for our virtual school tour The Stories and Art of Ezra Jack Keats
