2 weeks ago


Brookline, United States Torah Academy of Boston Full time

Torah Academy is more than a school. We are a community built around joyous, authentic Yiddishkeit and genuine care for every child. We are a community where every family is valued and where student successes are recognized and celebrated by everyone. At Torah Academy, education is about more than just academics. It’s also about fostering Jewish pride, love for learning, and sensitivity to others. And mostly it’s about our students knowing that they, as individuals, matter.

Torah Academy is a preK-8 school that has been in the Boston area for 40 years. We foster a supportive professional environment, including extensive professional development, growth, and advancement opportunities. Our students spend the mornings studying and celebrating _Kodesh, _including Hebrew, Torah, and Jewish laws and customs. In the afternoons students engage in general studies according to their grade level. Because of the intense nature of the morning curriculum our students are pretty sophisticated in their thinking. We are seeking general studies teachers to match that level of rigor in their content areas. Our general studies curriculum is modeled after the public school frameworks, so familiarity with grade level secular academic expectations is a big plus. Torah Academy contains a boys division and a girls division; students are separated by gender starting in first grade.

We are currently seeking a dedicated, creative, and warm 5th grade teacher for our boys division. This role is ideal for someone with a part time teaching position who is looking for some extra work, a current graduate student in education, or a retired teacher who isn’t ready to leave it all behind

**Responsibilities include**

**Create a warm, caring, and safe environment** Students are at the heart of what we do. When they know that they are cared for, students come ready to learn. This includes building nurturing relationships with students and providing age-appropriate levels of student supervision, classroom rules, and routines.

We have curriculum materials, and you are encouraged to bring your passions to the classroom. Your creativity will shine in the activities you plan to engage student interest in the content.

**Monitor and communicate student progress** Provide feedback to students and their families on academic, social, and behavioral progress. Maintain appropriate records. Create two-way communication channels with families so they are updated on their child’s progress.

**Other responsibilities** As assigned by the Head of School.

**What we’re looking for in you**
