MATCH is growing. Join our Team.
Teachers (Science, Math, English, Special Education)
We seek teachers with a "No Excuses" approach (think Rafe Esquith, Jaime Escalante, KIPP, etc.), teachers who relish the challenge of "turning around" kids who tend to arrive with both low academic skills and low effort in their previous schools.
We look for 2+ years of full-time teaching experience (Candidates with only student teaching experience thus far: we are sorry but we don't yet have the mentoring capacity to support you at the level you deserve early in your career).
Read this for a sense of how we try to put teachers in a position to succeed.
We like phrases like "relentless work ethic." We buy one another lots of coffee. We think we collectively have a good sense of humor (admittedly on the dorky side), so we covet that in others. We seek a commitment of 3 years.
EOE. We seek a diverse workforce.
We do not have any open positions for the 2010—2011 school year at this time, but please check back in the future.
Friday/Saturday "No Excuses" Teacher Coaches
Type of Person
Skilled teachers from No Excuses charter schools (Kipp et al), or No Excuses type teachers in traditional high-poverty schools.
Someone fascinated by the little things -- the nuance of how to run a silent Do-Now that really drives the first 4 minutes of a class, or why cold-calling generally beats hand-raising.
Also, pragmatic revolutionary. You get stuff DONE. You run (or have run) a REALLY tight classroom. But you're not constrained by the existing models of teacher training. You're open to pursuing a different way.
Where
MATCH Charter School in Boston. Existing high school; our middle school opened this year.
Background
Our program will prepare workaholic 22-year-olds to succeed in high-poverty middle and high schools. Some will end up at No Excuses charter schools; others will seek to be solo Jaime Escalante types in (possibly chaotic) traditional schools. Starts November 2008.
