A large body of evidence shows that our students learn and grow more when they are taught and mentored by a highly skilled, diverse staff. The Match Associate Teacher (MAT) Program is designed to quickly and effectively launch the teaching careers of aspiring educators, especially those who share key identity intersections with Match's students. The program is structured as a one-year cycle, with the possibility of a second-year extension for MATs whose pathway to teaching includes extended development and who demonstrate strong potential for continued growth. The MAT program is built on the the foundational beliefs that: * Great teachers are developed, not born: Through constant reflection, feedback, coaching, and practice, MATs become unusually effective first-year lead teachers upon completion of the MAT program. * Associate Teachers learn and develop best when their day-to-day workload is manageable: The MAT program is designed to provide MATs with the training/ practice they need without burning anyone out. * Teachers in training should be compensated competitively - transparent pay trajectories allow teachers to plan their careers, and their lives. To that end, Match's current MAT compensation trajectory* is as follows: * Associate Teacher Year 1: Base of $52,500 * Associate Teacher Year 2*: $55,650 $52,500 + $3,150 development stipend * Lead Teacher Year 1: $67,403 Base of $64,903, plus $2,500 retention bonus for MATs hired as lead teachers at Match * Lead Teacher Year 2: $72,554 Base of $70,054, plus $2,500 retention bonus for MATs who continue as lead teachers at Match * Lead Teacher Year 3: $74,174 * Lead Teacher Year 4: $79,325 * Lead Teacher Year 5: $83,446 * Lead Teacher Year 6: $86,537 * Lead Teacher Year 7: $92,718 * Lead Teacher Year 8: $97,869 * Lead Teacher Year 9 $105,080 * Lead Teacher Year 10: $113,322 * Pay scale is based on current year (25-26) Licensure & Certification The MAT Program positions participants to obtain provisional licensure in Massachusetts by * Providing guidance and information on completing certification requirements in Massachusetts * Embedding coursework related to Moderate Disabilities Licensure into MAT programming * Requiring all Associate Teachers to obtain their SEI endorsement through participation in a Match organized SEI course that is taught by a DESE approved course provider. What is the MAT experience? Match Associate Teachers (MATs) are placed on grade-level (K-5) or subject level (6-12), or Special Education teams, at Match Public Charter School for an intensive year-long apprenticeship. Throughout the year, MATs are coached and mentored by expert teachers and leaders at Match and gradually assume more classroom responsibilities. MATs receive highly practical, hands-on training in effectively designing and implementing rigorous instruction, and in building classroom cultures consistent with achievement, purposefulness and joy. Through extensive self reflection partnered with feedback, coaching and classroom experience, MATs develop and strengthen their practice as educators with the goal of becoming unusually effective rookie lead teachers at one of the Match campuses in the following school year. How it works: * The MAT programmatic year runs from August 1- July 31 at the nationally acclaimed Match Charter Public School, which serves students in grades pre-K-12 in Boston. * Approximately twelve aspiring teachers convene to make up the MAT cohort. Members of this cohort are placed at one of Match's three campuses, either the elementary, middle or high school. * MATs spend full days in classrooms with host teachers where they observe, assist, and gradually assume student teaching responsibilities. * Throughout the year, MATs attend wrap-around training and support through professional development designed specifically for their cohort as well as professional development with their campus based colleagues. * The MAT's dedicated mentor teacher and school leaders provide frequent personalized feedback to MATs as their teaching experiences and responsibilities are ramped up. * At the end of the program, successful MATs who have gained Massachusetts "provisional" licensure are highly prioritized for open positions at Match in the following school year. * To continue their training, MATs who will return to Match have the option to teach Summer Academy. This serves as an opportunity for MATs to gain more experience in preparation to become a lead teacher. Duties & Responsibilities Responsibilities of a Match Associate Teacher gradually increase and include, but are not limited to: Serve as a teaching assistant in the classroom. * Observe and provide in-class support to a host teacher. * Actively receive and implement coaching from Match staff. * Teach in a host teacher's classroom with a gradual increase in teaching responsibilities as the school year progresses. * Support the host teachers with grading, material development, family communication, etc. * Support school-wide duties (breakfast, lunch, dismissal, etc.) as needed.
