Why PHP?
As part of Hebrew Public, Philadelphia Hebrew Public teachers and staff have the opportunity to bring that mission to life with students from over 37 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 all students deserve rigorous academics, strong relationships, and access to a globally minded education that expands what they see as possible for themselves. For educators who want their work to matter beyond the classroom walls, PHP offers a place to help close opportunity gaps while nurturing students academically, socially, and culturally.
The Opportunity
We are seeking a skilled, joyful, and student-centered Hebrew Teacher who is excited to help young learners build confidence, curiosity, and a love of Hebrew.
The teacher will co-teach 30-minute Hebrew classes for 1st- and 2nd-grade students, working closely with another educator to create joyful, immersive, and highly interactive learning experiences. Together, they will plan and deliver instruction that builds students’ speaking, listening, reading, and writing skills, with a strong focus on oral language, comprehension, confidence, and participation, while creating a positive classroom where all students can grow.
Beyond Hebrew instruction, this teacher will play an active role in the broader school community through lunch and recess coverage and by teaching a 6th-grade elective.
What You’ll Do
• Teach engaging 30-minute Hebrew classes for 1st- and 2nd-grade students using an immersive approach focused on speaking, listening, reading, and writing
• Use songs, games, movement, play, stories, and routines to make Hebrew joyful, accessible, and meaningful
• Co-teach with another educator to plan instruction, support student needs, and maintain a positive classroom environment
• Use and adapt the provided Hebrew curriculum and instructional resources to support student growth
• Monitor student progress and adjust instruction based on observations and student work
• Collaborate with colleagues and contribute to a strong school culture
