Massachusetts’ lowest performing schools can only succeed with talented teams of educators working together to improve student achievement. These teams will include current teachers who have already begun to lead the transformation, as well as outstanding, experienced teachers who are new to the school. Above all, we are seeking excellent teachers with a track record of success to devote their skills, energy and expertise to students and schools in greatest need of improvement.

Amazing teachers...

• Are relentlessly committed to high achievement for all students. They demonstrate tenacity and persistence in pursuit of the goal of ensuring that every child develops the knowledge and skill necessary for college and career success. 
• Have demonstrated success in enabling students to make significant academic progress. They have a track record of results with students and are skilled at using data to analyze and improve student performance.
• Build and value strong relationships with students, families and the community.  They create a sense of community in the classroom that celebrates success, empower students with choice and responsibility and make content relevant and accessible to all.
• Thrive in diverse, multicultural settings. They respect and support families and students of all backgrounds – regardless of race, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, language or ability – and actively engage them in achieving rigorous academic goals.
• Work collaboratively with school leadership and their colleagues to help foster a culture of teamwork.  They welcome and seek out opportunities to lead, plan, learn and collectively solve problems in pursuit of student achievement.
• Have deep content and pedagogical knowledge and skills and constantly strive to improve their practice. They have a strong understanding of content and learning standards, maintain strong classroom management skills, and differentiate instructional strategies so that all students comprehend key information.  They reflect on their teaching performance and seek feedback and new learning to improve.

Our schools have a particularly great need for experienced Special Education teachers and teachers of English Language Learners.
