MMSD is seeking highly motivated and energetic applicants for openings for the 2025-2026 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 captured in our strategic framework, and centers 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. To achieve this vision, we seek to retain staff in all positions, who are committed to being anti-racist, culturally responsive, and inclusive.

Essential Duties and Responsibilities:

1. Use standards (CCSS, SELS, Language) to identify common learning targets that represent what all students should know, do and understand as a result of the instruction.
2. Use knowledge of students’ background, interest, style, culture, language, individual needs, and assessment data to inform planning.
3. Develop daily and weekly plans to support student growth towards mastery of standards.
4. Develop common year-long/course plans that identify the essential questions and resources to support student learning.
5. Establish clear objectives for all lessons, units, and projects and communicate those objectives to students.
6. Instruct students individually and in groups, using various teaching methods, such as lectures, discussions, and demonstrations to build student engagement, collaboration, and independence with complex tasks.
7. Adapt teaching methods and instructional materials to meet students' varying needs and interests.
8. Provide daily opportunities for students to describe their reasoning, share explanations, make conjectures, justify conclusions, argue from evidence, and negotiate meaning.
9. Define and plan formative assessments to show evidence of learning.
10. Use multiple ways to check for student understanding and clarify, reteach and/or make adjustments to instruction based on information gathered.
11. Provide students with meaningful feedback that reinforces effort, provides recognition and promotes student involvement and progress in the learning process.
12. Provide opportunities for teacher-to-student, student-to-student and student-to-teacher feedback both orally and written.
13. Analyze data and adjust instruction based on student achievement, observation, and teacher practice data.
14. Establish rules for behavior and procedures for maintaining order among the students for whom they are responsible.
15. Meet with parents/guardians to discuss their student's progress and to determine priorities for their children and their resource needs.
16. Collaborate with all staff in support of student learning, e.g., team planning and co-teaching.

Minimum Qualifications:

1. Bachelor’s degree. Official transcripts are required for formal employment.
2. Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction (DPI) teaching license in Art (550/1550) to cover the respective grade level(s) being taught.
3. Applications are considered on a rolling basis. MMSD will consider applicants who are fully licensed before considering applicants who are not yet licensed.
4. If you do not already have an active Wisconsin teaching license, you must obtain and maintain the necessary license(s) for the position.

Working Conditions:

School-based positions are required to be in-person unless otherwise directed by the building principal.
