About The Position

Lander~Grinspoon Academy, a pluralistic K-6 Jewish Day school in Northampton, MA, is hiring a dynamic and creative part-time Hebrew/Judaics teacher.

The school is an open and diverse Jewish community providing an outstanding K-6 education. At this school, each child's success is our highest priority. The philosophy, curriculum, and community all work together to ensure that each student is embraced and nurtured both as an individual and as a constructive member of the community. The school has a strong social curriculum, which is integrated into all that they do, and feels that it is their job to educate students not only with a strong general and Judaic education, but also to teach students to be menches, kind citizens of the world. The teachers work collaboratively with each other, both in terms of curriculum and helping each child reach their potential, and to foster a dynamic work environment filled with collaboration, communication, respect, love, and a lot of laughter.
