A message from the Vice President for Teaching, Research, and Development

The vibrant campus life at Kibbutzim College of Education reflects the institution’s unique educational philosophy. Alongside high-quality academic programs for professional training and development – which prepare a significant portion of Israel’s educators in both formal and informal education – the college fosters diverse educational and social initiatives, characterized by a distinct voice and identity. Guided by the educational philosophy of John Dewey, we believe that education is not merely preparation for life, but life itself.

Accordingly, we aim to provide our students with a meaningful, relevant, and up-to-date academic experience – one that deepens their learning and serves as a model for their future work as educators. In order to achieve this ambitious goal, we are dedicated to leading a fundamental transformation in the processes of teaching, learning, and assessment, and to developing creative practices alongside distinctive spaces that serve as innovative arenas for student activities and hands-on experiences. Among these are the Simulation Unit, the Reflection Space, the Center for Innovation and Learning Design, the Center for Digital Pedagogy, the Empowerment and Support Center for Students with Learning Disabilities and Attention Disorders (MAHUT), the Social Engagement Unit, and others.

These examples—just a glimpse of what the college has to offer—illustrate the added value of Kibbutzim College as a leading academic institution in the field of education:
A place where academic study is integrated with the cultivation of intellectual, personal, and interpersonal skills for life.
