MMSD is seeking highly motivated and energetic applicants for openings for the  school year. Applicants should have a good attitude, willingness to learn, and passion for impactful work and learning.

Why You Should Work with MMSD!

The Madison Metropolitan School District (MMSD) is the second-largest school district in Wisconsin. We have a simple but bold vision — to ensure that every school is a thriving school, that prepares every student to graduate from high school ready for college, career, and community. We welcome applicants who will actively contribute to our ongoing commitment to making MMSD a thriving, welcoming environment for all students, families, and staff.

The Madison Metropolitan School District is committed to being anti‑racist, culturally responsive, and inclusive. Our strategy is centered on three major goals: that all children achieve academically, that our schools are places where children and adults thrive, and that our Black youth excel at school.

We firmly believe in and are here to create a work environment that is challenging and rewarding, while supporting employees in their career path. We strive to provide, encourage, grow, and develop a talented workforce that better supports and represents the diversity of our student population.

For more information on our teacher screening and selection process, please visit our TEACH Madison webpage.

The district serves a beautifully diverse population of more than 25,000 students. More than half are students of color. Almost half come from low-income households. Nearly one third are English Language Learners, and more than 100 languages are represented in our schools.

The primary role of the program support teacher is to provide technical assistance, guidance, and support to teachers, administrators, and support staff who educate students with disabilities, ensuring that all children with disabilities receive a free appropriate education that emphasizes special education and related services designed to meet their unique needs and prepare them for further education, employment, and independent living.
