Boston Public Schools (BPS), founded in 1647 as the nation’s first public school district, serves approximately 48,000 students representing more than 141 countries. With nearly 10,000 employees, including 4,800 educators, BPS is the largest and one of the most diverse districts in Massachusetts. The Office of Human Resources (OHR) seeks to support the 10,000 employees at Boston Public Schools from the moment they apply for a job in our district until they retire.

Our goal is to attract, develop, and retain a highly effective instructional team that is responsive to the diverse racial, cultural, and linguistic needs of our youth. Our vision is to ensure there are effective educators in every classroom and every school, every day who prepare students for college, career, and beyond. We aim to attract, cultivate, deploy, develop, and retain the most effective talent that is reflective of the cultural and linguistic diversity of our students.

Boston Public Schools seeks a Program Coordinator to assist the Director of Teacher Pipeline and Licensure Programs in all aspects of coordinating and organizing the district’s "grow your own" teacher pipeline and licensure programs so that the Director can fully execute all aspects of his/her/their role, including providing strategic, instructional, and operational leadership for all teacher pipeline and MTEL support programs across BPS, driving their growth to advance the diversity of the district’s teacher workforce as well as to successfully cultivate effective, equity-oriented teachers for Boston’s schools.

The Program Coordinator works alongside the Director, attending to the operational and organizational needs of BPS’s three "grow your own" teacher pipelines programs and MTEL support teams, which are programs designed to cultivate and support quality and qualified early career teachers. The Program Coordinator provides accurate coordination, record keeping, and organization for all Teacher Pipeline and Licensure Programs, such that the Director is able to design, revise, and implement programming in response to overlapping and interrelated changing landscapes: the multiple district priorities and operational changes and structures, the scope of the needs of the prospective educators being cultivated, DESE’s requirements for licensure, and the vast and changing needs of the students.
