What is it like to teach at Milton Public Schools?
Milton is a contemporary suburban community in eastern Massachusetts that prides itself on a rich historical heritage, tree-lined streets, and acres of protected open space. Milton is unique in that it has the most privately and publicly conserved land within 20 miles of Boston, giving the town a bucolic atmosphere in close proximity to the cultural and business opportunities in the Greater Boston area.
What kind of support does Milton Public Schools offer new teachers?
The Milton Public Schools highly values the contribution, energy, and dedication that new teachers bring to the district. That said, we also understand that successful transitions for teachers new to a district and/or teaching in general are marked by a robust support system. All teachers new to the Milton Public Schools are matched with a mentor. Mentor leaders, formally trained in effective mentoring programs, have created a rich system of support for new teachers. Support is a combination of mentoring activities as well as more formal training. These mentoring activities extend into the second and third years of teaching with an increased focus on pedagogical content knowledge and developing teacher leadership.
How does Milton Public Schools demonstrate that it is commited to teacher diversity?
We have worked toward diversifying our teaching staff in many ways including partnering with higher education institutions, fostering the growth of staff affinity groups, crafting exit surveys to better understand the experiences of teacher of color, training leaders on specific hiring strategies that will support diversifying staff, and reporting annually to the MPS School Committee on progress toward the goal of a staff that is reflective of the diversity of the district’s student population.
