Teacher Assistant Program
2023-11-12 08:45 - 12:15 (America/New_York) | Temple Beth El -Beck Family Campus, 9800 Yamato Rd, Boca Raton, FL, 33434, United States
Our Teacher Assistants’ (TA’s) work as a partner to the teacher and role model to the students in our classrooms. Ta’s are encouraged to share their skills while leading and also supporting the learning going on in the classrooms. Because these teens are helping younger students learn in a Jewish environment, we feel its important they are also are Jewish learners themselves. Teens must be enrolled in Teen Beyachad or Tuesday Night Classes in order to be a teacher Assistant. This is a year long Commitment where teens can receive either Community service hours or a stipend paid out twice a year. Participants in this program can choose to work Sundays / Tuesday afternoons or both.
If you have any questions about this program, please email Ross Glinkenhouse.

Madrichim Program (8th grade):
The 8th grade Madrichim (teaching guides) class will prepare students to be TAs (Teacher’s Assistants) through a weekly Sunday morning program.
Madrichim will gain leadership skills, taking and delivering on responsibilities, how to engage with students individually and in small groups, how to work with a team in a professional environment. Each class is rooted in Jewish text which participants will explore together. The class includes CPR and First Aid training and certification, and they will hear from speakers and leaders within the Temple Beth El Community.
This is one of three options for 8th graders to participate in for formal learning. The program is a fall offering that leads into being a TA for the Second half of the year. All Madrichim will be eligible for Community Service hours throughout the year.
