What is the Associate Teacher Role?

The Associate Teacher Program is a year-long teacher preparation program designed to support early educators in developing the skills necessary to become experienced educators in one year. Brooke Charter Schools strives to be an anti-racist organization; we fulfill our school's mission by diversifying the educator workforce through the Associate Teacher Program. The Associate Teacher program has three core components:

• One-to-one Mentoring

• Every Associate Teacher is paired with a mentor. Mentors are experienced teacher leaders in their school community.

• Mentor Teachers provide Associate Teachers with targeted feedback to support growth in teaching practices through regular observations, coaching conversations, and formal monthly evaluations.

• Professional Development

• Associates participate in over 300 hours of weekly intensive professional development (PD).

• PD topics include anti-racist classroom management practices, developing standards-based lesson plans, and how to center student voice at the core of the learning experience, etc.

• Gradual Release Teaching Model

• Associates practice skills from targeted professional development and take on more teaching components.

• Associates teach full days in their mentor's classroom and are granted opportunities to teach across their K-8th or 9th-12 campus.

• Associate teachers will assume the duties of absent classroom teachers and teach across different grade levels and classrooms.
