The Blackstone Community K-6 School is seeking motivated educators that demonstrate a deep commitment to school improvement. The Blackstone is a vibrant learning community of nearly 600 students who come from neighborhoods across Boston. Our students speak eight or more languages and represent a rich tapestry of cultures, identities, and lived experiences. Each child brings brilliance, potential, and a powerful story—and it is our shared responsibility to ensure they are seen, valued, and supported every day.

At the Blackstone Community School, we empower one another to learn, grow, succeed, and become our best selves. Collaboration is at the heart of our work, and we believe that when educators feel supported, challenged, and inspired, students thrive. We are deeply committed to building the conditions that allow every student—and every educator—to shine.

Boston Public Schools seeks an exceptional Elementary and Special Education teacher with an SEI endorsement who is highly qualified and knowledgeable to join our community of teachers, learners and leaders. This is an exciting opportunity for teachers who desire to serve where their efforts matter. In BPS, the teachers and leaders are committed to the vision of high expectations for achievement, equal access to high levels of instruction, the achievement of academic proficiency for all students, and the closing of the achievement gap among subgroups within the schools.

BPS is a great place for those who seek to work in an environment that supports their creativity and innovation, and respects their skills and abilities as a teacher.
