We believe effective, high quality teachers are the key to happy, high-achieving students. We invest heavily in hiring, training, and cultivating exceptional classroom teachers, in ways that simultaneously further their individual development, advance our larger institutional goals, and ultimately drive student performance.
MCS and MCS2 offer a competitive compensation package, including medical and dental insurance, bonuses based on school goals and student performance, and 403(b) benefits. In addition to extensive professional development, our teachers are equipped with all necessary instructional supplies and technology.
We are also committed to our teachers’ happiness and well-being. The schools provide catered lunch once per month, a holiday party and end-of-the-year party, and frequent cupcake deliveries to show our staff how much we truly appreciate their hard work and dedication. On the 2013-14 NYC School Survey, 100% of teachers at Manhattan Charter School have indicated that they feel supported by the principal and other teachers at the school.
To be a classroom teacher at MCS you need a master’s degree in education and minimum of two years teaching experience working with a diverse student population that has multiple learning styles.
