Job Description

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.

We are currently seeking dedicated, creative, and warm elementary general studies teachers for our boys division. This role is ideal for a current graduate student in education, someone interested in exploring becoming a teacher, or a recently retired teacher who isn’t quite ready to leave it all behind!

Responsibilities

• 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.
• Create and implement lesson plans. You will be responsible for teaching all general studies content areas, including ELA, History, Math, and Science. Our curriculum is aligned with Massachusetts state standards. Your creativity will shine in the activities you plan to engage student interest in the content. You will be teaching an upper elementary grade (3, 4, or 5).
• 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

• You have prior successful experience with elementary-aged students.
• You have a strong commitment to practicing differentiated instruction.
• You are passionate about educating children.
• You are creative and think outside the box when it comes to challenging young minds.

About Torah Academy

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 for 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.
