Careers - Elevated

We’re looking for people who love infants and toddlers and are inspired to impact the future!
No classroom experience necessary.

Being involved with ElevtEd has been like receiving a surprise gift! Meeting a wonderful group of dedicated educators, networking, supporting my mentee and gaining new skills to help her meet with success... all wonderful additions to my professional growth.

Beth

Mentor in Long Island

ElevatEd has helped me plan a future in early childhood education. I’ve been able to gain clarity on the goals I can accomplish. The ElevatEd presenters provided unique perspectives and practical tools that could be applied immediately. The relationships have inspired meaningful wonderings. My confidence has increased dramatically- and in proportion with my curiosity and dedication.

Monica

Emerging Educator in Houston

ElevatEd has taught me so much about the Jewish culture and the importance of Jewish values. My whole school has learned a lot too because I share my thoughts and experiences after each class!

Samantha

Emerging Educator in Long Island

I came into teaching after a pretty major career shift away from commercial diving. I was, admittedly, very nervous about teaching early childhood. I was pleasantly surprised by the huge amount of support that I received through this program, and because of that, I was able to become really comfortable and find my rhythm as a PreK teacher!

Evan

Emerging Educator in Houston

ElevatEd is working very hard to meet the multiple needs of Jewish schools - from top to bottom - and is doing so in meaningful, helpful ways. As a director - new to my school this year - more than anything, it's been the generosity of this initiative - making the information available to all - encouraging the sharing of it - and the support of our local Jewish Federation, as well as ElevatEd, that has really stood out, for me.

Lynda

Director in Houston

ElevatEd has given a voice and brought attention to the fact that my role as a Director of ECE is so much more than that and includes many hats. In particular, even though I had no desire to be in recruiting, ElevatEd not only pointed out that I am doing many roles as a director and they took the next step and essentially sent the message that whether we like it or not, we are doing recruiting work, so here are some ways to be more effective since almost no one in a role like this has training in this area. They noticed an area of the job that we were trying and failing to do and gave tangible steps and training to help us improve”.

Courtney

Director in East Bay

Become an early childhood Jewish educator to experience a world of belonging, support, and growth - where little sparks are nurtured and careers are made.

Miriam

First Year Teacher
Boston MA

I’ve always loved working with kids, but when I started teaching full-time this year, I began to question whether I was cut out for this field after all. Then the Elevated sessions began. My mentor asked about my journey to the preschool classroom and it felt good that she cared about my story. She made me feel comfortable voicing my struggles without judgment. Suddenly these challenges didn’t feel permanent; it was possible to address them. My mentor gave me advice from her many years in the classroom, and I realized that it’s okay to be struggling. It’s normal for the first year of teaching to be hard, because I’m new! I’m still learning. Whatever I learned with ElevatEd, I implemented that very afternoon in my classroom! My lead teacher would even ask, “What did you learn in Elevated that we can use today?” I am so grateful for the support I needed as a new teacher. Now I am feeling excited to continue to learn and grow as an educator.

Laurel

Second year teacher
Long Island, NY

This experience has made me feel more confident and capable as an educator. I love what I’m doing now! Having a support system with other educators and my mentor have been really helpful in solidifying my growth and confidence. ElevatEd is an amazing learning opportunity. The classes and mentorship give me a chance to reflect and share ideas about what is and isn’t working in my classroom. I’ve gained a lot of ideas for activities, classroom setup and philosophies. My mentor has also been such an amazing support system, I’m so grateful for her!

Evan

First year teacher
Houston, TX

I came into teaching after a pretty major career shift away from commercial diving. I was, admittedly, very nervous about teaching early childhood since I was so used to training adults in my previous role. I was pleasantly surprised by the huge amount of support that I received through this program and, because of that, I was able to become really comfortable and find my rhythm as a PreK teacher!
