This is an exciting opportunity to inspire and nurture young learners in a values-driven, academically rigorous environment that supports the whole child—intellectually, emotionally, and socially.

What You'll Do
- Teach core subjects including Language Arts and Social Studies using student-centered, differentiated instruction.
- Create a warm, inclusive, and respectful classroom culture that reflects AYA’s commitment to academic excellence and character development.
- Design engaging lessons that integrate technology, executive functioning, and social-emotional learning (SEL) practices.
- Monitor and assess student growth through formative and summative assessments, providing timely and individualized feedback.
- Collaborate closely with fellow educators, learning specialists, and school leadership to support each student’s success.
- Maintain open and effective communication with parents and guardians.
- Engage in ongoing professional development and contribute to the life of the school community.
What We're Looking For
- Bachelor’s degree in Education or related field (Master’s preferred).
- Valid teaching certification or equivalent experience in elementary education.
- Classroom experience in grades K–5 (experience in upper elementary preferred).
- Familiarity with best practices in literacy instruction, inquiry-based learning, and differentiated teaching strategies.
- Strong classroom management, communication, and organizational skills.
- Passion for fostering a love of learning, building relationships with students, and meeting diverse learning needs.
- Understanding of Jewish values and traditions is a plus, but not required.
