Intern Teachers
Boston, Massachusetts
The Positions
Bridge Boston Charter School, a K1-8th grade public school, seeks talented, compassionate, committed, intern teachers to work in a comprehensive, full-service school dedicated to meeting the needs of traditionally underserved children in Boston, MA. Bridge Boston opened in September of 2011 with 72 children in K1 and K2. The school will expand by a grade each year until it serves 335 students. Bridge Boston Charter School's mission statement says that our students will thrive "in a challenging, joyful, inclusive community that values close partnerships with families and a focus on the whole child. Our students will develop the skills necessary to excel academically in rigorous high schools, reach their individual potentials, and view themselves as creators of their own futures. Through full-service programming, Bridge Boston Charter School works to remove the health and social obstacles that hinder student learning."
We are looking for interns who feel a commitment to the city, education, and children, and who feel excited about the idea of working at a start-up. The intern's primary responsibility will be to serve as an assistant teacher in a K1, K2, 1st or 2nd grade classroom, helping to individualize curriculum, and leading the after-school program. While it is recognized that the interns may have little or no teaching experience, they will be mentored by master teachers who are committed to collaboration and mutual learning. The ideal candidate would be a joyful, enthusiastic team player who is interested in committing two years to helping children thrive while also learning about and getting experience in education as a career. Our interns live in community approximately 5 miles from the school house.
A bachelor's degree is required. Intern teachers must have current CPR and First-Aid Certification or be willing to obtain these.
Compensation
