Second Grade GS Teacher

Milton Gottesman Jewish Day School of the Nation's Capital is an independent, community Jewish day school that currently offers a dual curriculum of General and Judaic studies for students in Pre-Kindergarten through Grade 8. The school is distinguished by its commitment to academic excellence, talented faculty, and learning that is joyful, engaging, experiential, and enduring. MILTON is a warm, vibrant, pluralistic Jewish day school where students,families, and faculty mirror the diversity of Jewish practice in the community. The school serves more than 475 students at our Kay and Robert Schattner Center Campuses - the beautiful South Campus for Early Childhood students in Grades PK-1, and the newly renovated and expanded North Campus for Elementary and Middle School students in Grades 2-8.

Milton Gottesman Jewish Day school is looking for a Second Grade General Studies teacher for our Elementary Division. Teaching responsibilities include Reading, Writing, Mathematics, and Social Studies. Milton is a team based environment where teachers have a lot of input on crafting their curriculum.

Serving as a teacher at MILTON means more than showing up in a classroom to deliver instruction. Rich mission-aligned content, creative pedagogy and authentic relationships are essential components of a MILTON classroom, as much as working collaboratively with colleagues and placing the students’ interests and experiences at the heart of the MILTON experience are also essential components of the job. We expect our teachers to provide developmentally appropriate and scaffolded opportunities to challenge students academically, physically, and artistically and to establish authentic relationships with the children in and beyond the classroom. We also expect that teachers will engage with colleagues in a collegial, collaborative, and community-minded manner, striving towards a respectful environment that encourages and supports the best in adults and students.

Requirements: Bachelor Degree in Elementary Education and at least 1-5 years teaching experience. Master’s in Education preferable. Experience with Responsive Classroom preferred.

The School does not discriminate on the basis of religion, but as a religious educational institution rooted in Jewish living and values, we do give preference in hiring to Jewish educators who are able to provide additional instruction and cultural or religious context for elements of our curriculum based in Judaism. At the same time, we encourage qualified, non-Jewish applicants to apply.

Pervasive inequalities in hiring have caused people to apply for a position only if they meet all of the qualifications. If you do not have all of the qualifications listed, but are passionate about our mission, motivated, and believe you have transferable skills from other industries, we encourage you to apply for this position.
