Who are our learners?

In graduate school I learned about Joseph Schwab's "Four Commonplaces of Education" - the four 'commonplaces' that must be considered when creating an educational program.  They are 1) the learner, 2) the teacher, 3) the subject matter, and 4) the context / milieu of the learning.  If any one of those things changes, the whole educational experience will change.

So... who are our learners in Jewish education today?  And how does that affect what kinds of educational programs and experiences we create?  I've been thinking about this a lot, especially when I spend time with my havurah.  I am in a havurah with 7 families (my own family included).  All families are members of our Reform synagogue, and are raising their children as Jews.  Of the 14 adults, we have the following:

-7 born & raised as Jews (1 in Israel, 6 in the United States)
-1 raised secular, and 6 raised in other religious traditions (2 have converted to Judaism, 2 others are considering or in the process of conversion)
-3 Hebrew speakers
-3 Chinese speakers

I could go on with statistics, but you get the picture.  None of the 7 families is comprised of parents who were both raised Jewish.  Our backgrounds are all over the map, yet we all want to connect to the Jewish community.  Despite our very different experiences with religion and religious communities growing up, we are all dedicated to Jewish life and want to raise our children with a meaningful sense of Jewish identity.

So the question and challenge for today's Jewish community is this: what kinds of educational experiences will speak to the hearts and minds and souls of every child in my havurah?
