Educational Leaders in Jewish Schools - A Study of Three Communities - Tables & Figures for Educational Leaders Data Presentation

Sep 2, 2026

Uploaded by Hazel

Educational leaders’ training, certification, and degree patterns are analyzed across Jewish school settings (day school, supplementary school, and pre-school). The material defines how training is treated when data are missing or when certifications are counted, and provides recommendations for consistent categorization of “trained in general education,” “trained in Jewish studies,” and “trained in administration.” Results are presented as cross-tabulated tables and figures showing full-time status, career perceptions in Jewish education, future administrative plans, and experience by years.

MY RECOMMENDATION:It comes down to a matter of defending one'sjudgements.Do we want to defend why we did not do it for the educators(i.e.,too much missing data)or do we want to defend why we are notcounting certificates in general education for the educational leaders.I'd rather defend the former.Thus,I RECOMMEND having "certification ingeneral education"quelify a person as being "trained in generaleducation".

FAQs

How are missing data handled in the training category calculations?

TRAIN is recommended to be defined as missing when one input value is missing and the other is 2(No). TRAIN should not be defined as missing when either input is 1(Yes), to avoid artificially lowering the share trained.

What training combinations are covered by the five sets of tables and figures?

The five sets cover: training in general education and Jewish studies; training in educational administration only; training in educational administration and Jewish studies; training in Jewish studies with either general education or educational administration combined; and training in general education and Jewish studies cross-tabulated with administration.

Which topics are included in the educational leaders data tables?

The tables address whether leaders are full-time, whether they view Jewish education as a career, future administrative plans by school setting, and experience in Jewish education by years (with totals and setting breakdowns).
