About the role

K-2 Special Education Teacher Start Date: Immediate Compensation: $55,000 - $88,000 (more details below) Contact: jobs@hebrewpublic.org 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. 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. You don’t need to speak Hebrew to apply, and we strongly encourage candidates from traditionally underrepresented groups to join our community. The Opportunity We are seeking skilled, collaborative, and student-centered K-2 Special Education Teachers to provide traditional push-in and pull-out support for elementary students with IEPs. This teacher will deliver targeted instruction, support students in accessing grade-level content, manage a caseload, and collaborate closely with general education teachers, families, service providers, and school leadership. The ideal candidate brings strong instructional skills, a deep understanding of specially designed instruction, and the ability to build meaningful relationships with students while maintaining strong systems for compliance, progress monitoring, and communication. What you’ll do Instruction & Student Support

• Provide push-in and pull-out instructional support for students with IEPs in reading, writing, mathematics, and other content areas as needed

• Deliver specially designed instruction aligned to student IEP goals, accommodations, and grade-level standards

• Support students in accessing rigorous classroom instruction through differentiation, scaffolding, and targeted intervention

• Use small-group and individualized instruction to address student needs and accelerate growth
