Part-Time Pre-K- 7 Hebrew School Teacher (3-5 hours a week)
Congregation Beth El of the Sudbury River Valley
Congregation Beth El is joyful, participatory Judaism. We sing, learn, laugh, and pray together, and celebrate our varied backgrounds, identities, and experiences. We connect with Jewish values and traditions as we strive to create a more just future for ourselves, our children, and our world.
Our reform, egalitarian shul, which draws families from Metrowest as well as east to Boston, and west to Worcester, lives its Jewish values with an emphasis on social justice and study, which we believe are just as important as ritual observance.
Our small Pre K-7 school seeks energetic, collaborative, and creative teachers to join our team for the 2024-2025 academic year. We believe that education should be fun, engaging, and a source of wonder and natural inquiry to our learners.
We currently meet from 9:00 - 11:00 on Sundays, with online Hebrew classes during the week. This may evolve over time.
Teachers will be expected to
- Support students in forming their own Jewish identities through exploration of different aspects of Judaism
- Work with co-teachers and the supervisor to track student progress and needs
- Develop individualized approaches to support each child’s learning
- Have knowledge and love of Jewish values and Torah
- Be comfortable teaching Hebrew
- Enjoy engaging and working with young families,
- Possess an energetic and welcoming personality
Qualification
- Have prior experience in or be studying Jewish Education.
Rate: $65-$80 an hour, commensurate with experience.
