Temple Shalom Emeth, a caring and welcoming Reform Jewish congregation located in Burlington, MA, is seeking to welcome new educators to teach in our religious school for the 2023/2024 school year. We are seeking high energy, organized, and creative teachers that are interested in working with either our youngest students (PreK-2nd (Alef) grades) or our students (3rd-5th (Bet) grades) during Sunday sessions. We welcome inquiries for all grade levels or substitute teaching positions.
Sunday sessions meet from 9:30 am to 11:30 am. The school year begins in early September (9/10/23) and runs through early May (5/5/24).
Responsibilities include: developing and adhering to weekly lesson plans, regular (weekly) communication with parents, work with Madrichim (teacher’s aides) in the classroom, participation at opening staff meetings, and attendance at approximately two Friday night Shabbat Services during the year.
