The DEEP (Developing Embedded Expertise Programs) Consortium partners with Jewish day schools, helping them access high-quality professional development to support professional growth, promote staff retention, and foster students’ success.

The DEEP Consortium

We are a community of independent organizations committed to providing relevant and focused high-quality professional development for Jewish day school educators.

Research shows that teachers need consistent, relevant and focused professional development to be the most effective in the classroom. Schools with embedded high-quality professional development provide students with the most engaging, impactful academic experience and teachers with a more satisfying work environment.

What is High-Quality Professional Development?

High-quality professional development (HQPD) empowers teachers to:

  • Strengthen classroom and school practice
  • Develop skills and strategies to reach each student
  • Commit to their own continuous growth
