About Hebrew Public

Hebrew Public is a small and growing network of schools operated by Hebrew Public: Charter Schools for Global Citizens. Hebrew Public is a secular organization that welcomes candidates of all backgrounds into a supportive and inclusive community.

Across the network, Hebrew Public schools serve children from all backgrounds and help students become global citizens who are strong problem solvers, aware communicators, and lifelong learners committed to making a positive difference in the world around them. Our schools are models of racial and economic integration, academic excellence, and world language learning.

The Opportunity

As part of Hebrew Public, Philadelphia Hebrew Public (PHP) teachers and staff bring our mission to life with students from more than 40 zip codes across Philadelphia, primarily Black and Brown students whose brilliance, curiosity, and potential drive our work every day.

PHP is rooted in the belief that every student deserves excellent teachers and an outstanding education. Through rigorous academics, strong relationships, and a globally minded education, we help students expand what they see as possible for themselves.

We also invest in educators. Teachers receive coaching, collaborative planning, professional development, and certification support. Our compensation model recognizes teacher skill, growth, and classroom impact, not simply years of experience. After their first year, eligible teachers may qualify for 5% up to 10% annual salary increases based on their impact in the classroom, without needing additional graduate coursework.

For educators who want to make a meaningful difference while growing their own careers, PHP offers the opportunity to do both.

You don’t need to speak Hebrew to apply, and we strongly encourage candidates from traditionally underrepresented groups to join our community.

• Establish a joyful, inclusive, and well-managed classroom with clear routines and high expectations.
• Assess student progress, provide meaningful feedback, and celebrate artistic growth.
• Organize student art exhibitions, collaborative projects, and school-wide displays.
• Collaborate with colleagues to connect visual arts to other academic subjects and school-wide initiatives.
• Build strong relationships with students, families, and colleagues.

Professional Responsibilities

• Model Hebrew Public's OLAM values: outstanding problem solving, continuous learning, making a difference, and intentional communication.
• Participate in collaborative planning, professional development, and school-wide initiatives.
• Reflect on instructional practice and seek opportunities for continued professional growth.
• Support school-wide expectations, priorities, and community-building activities.

Who You Are

• Deep belief in the limitless potential of Black and Brown students and commitment to helping them thrive as global citizens.
• Bachelor's degree from an accredited institution required.
• Pennsylvania teaching certification in Art Education, or active progress toward appropriate certification, is preferred.

• Commitment to culturally responsive instruction that reflects students' identities and experiences.
• Strong classroom management skills and ability to create an engaging, inclusive learning environment.
• Ability to differentiate instruction for students with varied learning needs and artistic experience.

Career Development and Support
