Who are We?

Brooke Charter Schools is a network of four public charter schools, serving grades K-12 in Mattapan, Roslindale, and East Boston. At Brooke, we coach and invest in our teachers so that they can help our students achieve at the highest levels and graduate from college. We believe academic achievement empowers our students to live choice‑filled lives and enhances their ability to contribute to creating a just world. In a culture of achievement, educators support students in recognizing and building on their identities as sources of strength even as they work to grow and achieve in new ways.

What is the Special Education Teacher Role?

As a Special Education Teacher (referred to as a Student Support Coordinator at Brooke), you build strong relationships with students in order to push them to be their best selves both academically and personally. You collaborate with colleagues in order to meet the needs of every student by ensuring accommodations are met and developing intervention plans. To that end, you will take part in regular data meetings, and participate in nearly 300 hours of professional development over the course of the school year.

You are a critical member of our instructional team, teaching daily support classes in math, science, life skills, and/or literacy. You also oversee the drafting, implementation, and maintenance of IEPs and 504 plans, co‑lead child study team meetings, and coordinate standardized test accommodations, special education screenings, and related services.

Hours for this role are 7:45 am – 4:00 pm and Student Support Coordinators work at one campus.

Salaries are based on years of special education experience. Candidates who join our team with a license or degree in special education are eligible for competitive salaries, aligned with local districts. The salary range is $72,000–$128,000, commensurate with experience.

Student support coordinators will also earn an additional $3,300 stipend for teaching a high‑need subject area.
