The Consortium of Special Educators in Central Agencies for Jewish Education was co-founded by Rabbi Martin Schloss and Sara Rubinow Simon and is affiliated with JESNA. Marty is the director of the Special Education Center of the Board of Jewish Education of Greater New York. Sara directs the Special Needs Department of the Board of Jewish Education of Greater Washington.
As expressed in its name, the Consortium was developed to strengthen special education through central agencies for Jewish education, and to provide a context in which communities' special educators can build a professional network.
The Consortium encourages the North American Jewish community to use the Consortium as a resource. Consortium activities include regular correspondence among members, the Newsletter, a resource database, and an annual Colloquium. Additional copies of the Newsletter are available for task forces, lay leaders, professionals, and other community groups by contacting JESNA: jesna@ix.netcom.com
