• 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 a driven, student-centered Support Teacher for the 2026–2027 school year. The Support Teacher plays an essential role in helping students feel successful, supported, and connected throughout the school day. The Support Teacher will follow a daily schedule and primarily partner with two classroom teachers. Within those classrooms, they will provide academic, behavioral, social, and emotional support, lead small-group ELA instruction, reinforce grade-level learning, and help maintain strong classroom routines and expectations. In addition to classroom responsibilities, the Support Teacher will complete an assigned staff duty, typically lunch or recess coverage, and may provide additional support during arrival, dismissal, transitions, or other parts of the school day. The ideal candidate builds strong relationships with students, follows established systems consistently, communicates proactively with their partner teachers, and responds calmly and thoughtfully to challenges. This is a strong opportunity for someone interested in developing their instructional skills and potentially pursuing a pathway toward teacher certification. What you’ll do Follow a consistent daily schedule and report on time to assigned classrooms, meetings, and duties. Primarily support two classroom teachers with instruction, classroom routines, and student needs. Lead small-group ELA instruction using provided lesson plans, materials, and student data. Provide one-on-one and small-group academic, behavioral, social, and emotional support. Reinforce classroom expectations, school-wide behavior systems, and positive student routines. Support students during transitions and help maintain a safe, structured, and engaging learning environment. Complete an assigned staff duty, including either lunch or recess coverage. Collaborate with teachers and student-support staff to monitor and communicate student progress, needs, and concerns. Participate in team meetings, coaching, professional development, and feedback conversations.
