The Abraham Joshua Heschel School is seeking to hire a cohort of Heschel Fellows to meet our unusual staffing needs in the 2020-2021 school year. Heschel Fellows will primarily assist and support Early Childhood and Lower School divisions, allowing Heschel to meet our students’ and teachers’ needs in light of our smaller class sizes created to minimize the risk of spreading Covid-19.  Fellows will rotate into classrooms to provide teachers with planning time and breaks, substitute for faculty absences, and assist with arrival, dismissal, and hallway monitoring.

Fellows will have excellent opportunities for learning, mentorship, exploration, and growth in a supportive, pluralistic Jewish community. Heschel Fellows will be supervised by Division Heads and participate in all faculty professional development.

Heschel Fellows will receive a stipend of $35,000 to work -- in-person or, if need be, remotely.
