- On hold for now. Will G-d willing resume when funding help makes this possible.
There are
currently 200 Creative Teachers signed up on the TFT Creative
Teacher Team, whose classroom experiences range from 5 to 20
years. Tools for Torah continues to search the world for the
most creative teachers - with years of classroom
experience - to join its team of creators.
When the funding for this program will permit, teachers will be paid on an hourly basis for their
creative input into creating the best materials. Part/Full
time opportunities will be offered to the teachers who
generate the best work and demonstrate leadership abilities.
For now, the Tools for Torah Teacher team are all volunteers who want to make a difference.
Each Chumash Unit will be created in an online
collaboration of a team teachers. All the brainstorming will be
documented online on the Wiki or using "Google Docs", where all
teachers will have access to all others' documents, simultaneously and
independently. This way teams can work together, and all the teams will
benefit from each other's work. All the final results of the work is
posted on the Tools for Torah Wiki - a private site which is only
accesible via personal invitation.
As the Creative Teacher Teams grow, TFT will appoint
directors for each of the areas of development, who will
provide assistance in each of their areas of expertise. i.e.
Expert project creators will be available to help all the
teams brainstorm on creating appropriate projects for their
Chumash Unit.

computer programmers (one of whom lead the IT team for an
large international bank, handling extremely complex
