Who are We?

Brooke Charter Schools is a network of four public charter schools serving grades K-12 in Mattapan, Roslindale, and East Boston. At Brooke, we coach and invest in our teachers to ensure students experience high-quality education at all times.  We leverage our family partnerships to support and empower our students to live choice-filled lives. Brooke Charter School is committed to high academic achievement and supporting our students to and through college. 

What is the Associate Teacher Role? 

The Associate Teacher Program is a year-long teacher preparation program to support early educators in developing the skills necessary to become an experienced educator in one year. Brooke Charter Schools strives to be an anti-racist organization; we fulfill our school's mission by diversifying the educator workforce through the Associate Teacher Program. The Associate Teacher program has three core components: 

  • One-to-one Mentoring
    • Every Associate Teacher is paired with a mentor. Mentors are experienced teacher leaders in their school community. 
    • Mentor Teachers provide Associate Teachers with targeted feedback to support growth in teaching practices through regular observations, coaching conversations, and formal monthly evaluations.
  • Professional Development
    • Associates participate in over 300 hours of weekly intensive professional development (PD).
    • PD topics include anti-racist classroom management practices, developing standard-based lesson plans, how to center student voice at the core of the learning experience, etc.
  • Gradual Release Teaching Model
    • Associates practice skills from targeted professional development and take on more teaching components.
    • Associates teach full days in their mentor's classroom and are granted opportunities to teach across their K-8th or 9th-12 campus.

Benefits of being a Brooke Associate Teacher:

  • Earn a competitive starting salary of *$55,000. Lead-teaching promotions are accompanied by a significant salary increase of at least *$72,000.
  • Upon meeting standards, free enrollment in online Sheltered Education Immersion (SEI Course, a required Massachusetts MTEL)

Whatever your decision, it will not be considered in the hiring process or thereafter. Any information that you do provide will be recorded and maintained in a confidential file.

As set forth in Brooke Charter Schools’s Equal Employment Opportunity policy, we do not discriminate on the basis of any protected group status under any applicable law.

Race & Ethnicity Definitions

If you believe you belong to any of the categories of protected veterans listed below, please indicate by making the appropriate selection. As a government contractor subject to the Vietnam Era Veterans Readjustment Assistance Act (VEVRAA), we request this information in order to measure the effectiveness of the outreach and positive recruitment efforts we undertake pursuant to VEVRAA. Classification of protected categories is as follows:

A "disabled veteran" is one of the following: a veteran of the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service who is entitled to compensation (or who but for the receipt of military retired pay would be entitled to compensation) under laws administered by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs; or a person who was discharged or released from active duty because of a service-connected disability.

A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.

An "active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran" means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
