Prizmah and NAIS have joined forces, enabling the Prizmah Network of schools to utilize the Data and Analysis for School Leadership (DASL) tool to generate fieldwide data and customized benchmarking reports in the areas of expenses, revenue, tuition, financial aid, enrollment, and fundraising.
School leaders are able to generate actionable data related to all aspects of school operations, including tuition, financial aid, admission, enrollment, salaries, and more. The tool allows for annual data collection, longitudinal reporting and easy-to-configure customized benchmarking reports to compare your school’s figures to national or regional trends and to a comparison group of schools that you choose.
You will be able to compare financial and enrollment metrics to other Jewish day schools, which can help you set goals, assess your progress, and make data-driven decisions.
Time frame: Data Collection June-November 2022

CASJE Jewish Educators Survey
The Consortium for Applied Studies in Jewish Education (CASJE), a research center located at George Washington University, is leading a multiyear, comprehensive research project addressing the recruitment, retention, and development of educators working in Jewish settings in North America. This study, CASJE Career Trajectories Study, is funded by the William Davidson Foundation and the Jim Joseph Foundation. As one component of the project, CASJE has partnered with The Greenberg Team to administer the CASJE National Jewish Educator Census, which will estimate how many people are employed in the formal and informal Jewish education field in the United States. Because Jewish day schools and yeshivas employ a large percentage of Jewish educators, your school’s contribution to the data is vital to the success of this study. The census asks about your school, your school’s staffing in 2019, and a few questions about changes and needs due to COVID-19.
CASJE is collecting this data to better understand who works in Jewish education, how that is changing, and to inform funders how to best support Jewish education and Jewish educators during these challenging times.
A study on high school students’ experience of remote learning since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. This study, supported by the Jim Joseph Foundation, was designed to help schools learn about their students’ academic and social-emotional experience of “schooling from a distance.”
