Jewish Studies Teacher - US

A successful candidate for this position will appreciate the art and craft of educating, embrace challenges, cultivate a rich life outside of school, find deep satisfaction in working with students, possess the emotional acuity and personality to inspire and engage young people, and maintain an excellent sense of humor. Educating can be difficult work, but it’s wildly fun and meaningful. This candidate should feel extremely comfortable using technology to bolster learning experiences. We seek an educator who is able to plan, organize, and implement differentiated instructional programs and effectively collaborate with academic departments, grade-level teams, and individual colleagues. TVT is a highly collaborative environment; departments and grade-level teams work together to plan and implement their lessons. Strong communication skills and the desire to develop partnerships with students and parents are central to the culture here at TVT

This position should be desirable for a candidate who seeks:

• An inclusive, tight-knit community of learners who make the school feel like a second home.
• A culture that balances high academic standards with character development - successful TVT graduates are citizens dedicated to the Jewish value oftikkun olam (repairing the world)
• A culture that deeply values student and staff voice
• A culture that supports innovation and risk-taking
• A culture in which teachers are encouraged to grow and to explore areas of professional interest (the school sets aside a sizable amount of money for professional development and provides practical support for teachers to develop their pedagogy).
• Incredible faculty and staff who support each other and make work feel like a second home
• A world-class campus and facilities
• A highly competitive pay scale

TVT’s mission, core values, pluralism statement, and educational philosophy drive everything at the school, and they provide insight into our culture. You can find all four at this link (www.tarbut.com/about/mission).
