Alumot Program

Vision, Goals, and Objectives

About the Program

Alumot is a national Israeli leadership program in the field of teacher education. It is a joint venture of the Prime Minister's Office, Ministry of Education, and the Mofet Institute,
and part of ‘Atudot Le’Israel’; a strategic talent management program, nurturing change agents,
for the public service sector in Israel. The program fellows currently hold mid-level management positions within teacher education institutions.

 

The main problems in colleges of teacher education

1

There is a lack of skilled candidates for senior positions in academic management. Academic management requires academic seniority, but the latter may be acquired without any managerial skills.

2

Organizations in the academic field of education tend to operate in silos-each college and organization on its own. This limits the efficiency of improvement processes, and eventually, widens the gap between the center and the periphery in Israel.

3

The world of education is changing at an accelerated pace, and teacher education is having difficulty keeping up with it. The relevance of academe to the field cannot be underestimated.

Our Vision

Developing a cadre of educational leadership in the realm of teacher education – whose members aspire to reach senior management positions and have the ability to fulfill them. These future leaders collaborate to create partnerships between different teacher-education institutions and between them and educational institutions, with the goal of trailblazing a change in teacher education and enhancing education in Israel.

Program Goals

  1. Fostering managerial capabilities and leadership skills for the senior academic level cadre in academic institutes of education, together with strengthening motivation to assume senior management positions in the teacher-education field
  2. Establishing a systemic perception of the ecology of teacher education, and a deep, comprehensive understanding of processes of teacher education and development
  3. A solid, unified alumni network that works across sectors to strengthen the teacher-education system
