We have several job openings available. We’re looking for a Curriculum Designer, Hebrew teachers, Jewish life teachers, teaching assistants, and additional specialties for the 2016-17 school year.

Request for Proposals: Curriculum Design, Makom Afterschool

Makom Afterschool is an innovative, pluralistic, Hebrew-immersion Jewish after-school program for children in junior kindergarten through Grade 4 (and growing) in downtown Toronto. Makom Afterschool enables children to attend their local neighbourhood school while gaining high-quality Jewish and Hebrew education and a warm Jewish peer community. We have three sites, at three different downtown public schools. Students attend between 2 and 5 days a week, with approximately 1.25-1.5 hours of class learning time per day (in addition to recess and snack). We have multi-age classrooms, with each classroom having 2 or 3 grades in it. Learn more about Makom Afterschool »

We are looking for an experienced, creative curriculum designer trained in experiential/informal education methodologies to design a multi-year, spiraling Hebrew and Jewish learning curriculum for our school. This project will take our school to the next level, help hone a “Makom approach” to Jewish education, and delineate a radically different approach to Jewish supplemental education than other programs in Toronto.

The project is to be completed by August 2017, with various deliverables throughout the project timeline.

The final deliverable will include:

• A multi-year, spiraling curriculum, incorporating Hebrew-language immersion and Jewish learning through experiential education methods.
• A curricular guide to help teachers execute learning goals through experiential methods.
• Recommendations on types of professional training for teachers that would complement the curriculum, including potential to direct teacher training as part of curriculum implementation.
• A chart of annual, monthly, and weekly learning milestones specific to our age groups, around which teachers can design lesson plans, including both Hebrew language and Jewish learning.
• Background information with which teachers can train themselves on the topics.

Deadline for application: Rolling.
