Schechter Manhattan runs a dual Jewish and General Studies curriculum. In the elementary school, we do not have a separate Jewish and General Studies staff. Instead, there are two co-teachers in each classroom all day who are responsible to share the responsibilities of teaching both Jewish AND General Studies. As such, all K-5 teachers MUST be proficient in Hebrew and have experience with Jewish Studies and texts.

Experience/Background for an Elementary School Teacher:

• At least 2 years of classroom teaching or pre-service experience required
• BA, EdM, or MA in education preferred
• Relative fluency in Hebrew required
• Training in and/or experience with teaching elementary-aged students
• Experience teaching a student-centered, hands-on curriculum preferred

Schechter Manhattan runs a dual Jewish and General Studies curriculum. In the Middle School, classes are taught by subject matter specialists: humanities, Jewish Studies/Hebrew, math, and science. They work as a team to support the class experience and individual progress. Each student also has a designated advisor who guides him/her through the academic and social middle school experience.

Each subject area expert is expected to have at least 2 years of classroom teaching and/or similar experience working with the subject matter. Jewish Studies teachers are expected to have training in, and experience with, teaching traditional Hebrew texts.

Would you like to have an opportunity to experience the teaching and community of Schechter Manhattan? You can as a per diem substitute teacher. Read below for more details.

Schechter Manhattan is a student-centered Jewish Day school located in Manhattan. We take a specific educational approach to teaching and learning that ensures our students are actively learning, and engaged in problem solving, critical thinking and building their skills. We work in a professional culture that highlights faculty reflection and collaboration.

Substitute positions are sometimes half-day and sometimes full-day. Elementary substitute teachers generally work alongside one of the classroom co-teachers and support learning in both Jewish and General Studies.

Middle school substitute teachers work on their own in a specific subject area, and follow a lesson plan left behind by the absent teacher.

Pay: $125/full day or $62.50/half-day or less.

Applicants are required to undergo a background check. Once approved, the applicant will be placed on our substitute (sub) teacher list. Subs will be contacted by a teacher or an administrator as far in advance of the teaching as possible. On some occasions, subs may be contacted first thing in the morning for a same day visit.
