Our work at Brooke Charter Schools is anchored in the belief that teacher quality — not socioeconomic status or race — is the number one predictor of student achievement.
Our principals are instructional leaders who support teachers with weekly observations and feedback, video analysis, and formal professional development sessions.
Professional Development
When asked what support they value the most, Brooke teachers consistently highlight collaborating with their peers every week to review data, interpret learning standards, and plan lessons.
Effective Instruction
Every year, Brooke students outperform their peers in Boston and in many more privileged suburban districts; our success and positive culture feed into high levels of student and teacher retention year over year.
Student Achievement
Our thoughtful and transparent compensation system is designed to reward excellence and encourage a commitment to teaching long-term. Over time, successful Brooke teachers significantly eclipse their earning potential in neighboring districts.
Compensation
Having been a teacher before I came to work at Brooke, I know that every minute in a teacher's day matters and that it can be challenging when things other than instruction require your attention. As Director of Operations, I do everything I can to ensure that our teachers have a school environment that allows them to focus all of their time and energy on teaching.
Our approach to fostering great teaching is built on a foundation of research-based best practices in education.
