KEY ROLES & RESPONSIBILITIES

Launch your teaching career with a team of extraordinary educators! DSST’s Apprentice Teacher (AT) Program is a year-long teaching residency designed to support you in learning to teach at DSST Public Schools while also earning a competitive salary. You’ll gain transformative classroom experience and development under the guidance of a DSST Mentor Teacher and a program designed to improve your craft through intentional learning, observation, and practice. At the end of your first year, you’ll also have the option of pursuing a Master’s in Art in Teaching at a heavily subsidized rate.

Your primary responsibility is to learn! Our ATs spend time observing various DSST Teachers, practicing teaching real classes, getting direct feedback from their assigned Mentor Teacher, and participating in their school and network provided development.

At the end of your gradual year-long onboarding, you will have the confidence and opportunity to lead your own classroom within our network.

You will build meaningful relationships with and make a tangible impact on the minds and lives of students.

Apprentice Teachers may also take on additional duties as assigned such as supporting student recruitment, running a small group advisory class, after school tutoring, etc. *See many of our possible duties here.

Please Note: teaching experience is not required to become an Apprentice Teacher! We are excited to interview anyone who has completed (or will complete!) a Bachelor’s Degree in any major and wants to make a difference in the lives of 6th-12th grade students. We will inquire about your subject interests & location preference at the time of interview.

Key Differences between Apprentice Teachers and DSST Teachers:

An Apprentice Teacher, unlike a DSST Teacher, does not have the responsibility of managing the learning and culture of his/her own classroom until the end of the year. In the beginning of the Apprentice Teaching experience, the Apprentice Teacher will not assume full responsibility for long term planning, daily planning; assessment creation, data analysis, or behavior management– the DSST Mentor Teacher will manage all of these classroom components and help the Apprentice Teacher transition to managing more on their own as the year progresses. By the end of the year, it is the goal of the Apprentice Teacher to manage the majority of long and short-term planning, assessment creation, data analysis, and behavior management so that they are ready to assume full leadership of a classroom in the following school year.

Apprentice Teacher Pathway

DSST Apprentice Teachers commit to the following pathway to support their development as a teacher. Enrollment and good standing in this pathway is a requirement for continued participation in the DSST Apprentice Teacher Program.

Relay Residency Program (Licensure and master’s degree pathway): Most DSST Apprentice Teachers (including recent college graduates and career changers) enroll in the highly acclaimed Relay Teacher Residency program. For math and science teaching candidates, this preferred partner program is aligned with DSST’s core teaching practices and is highly regarded by our DSST Apprentice Teacher alums.

KEY ROLES & RESPONSIBILITIES

At DSST Public Schools we believe that every student deserves an exceptional education, and that strong school leadership is the single greatest lever to delivering the rigorous, vibrant, and equitable schools our students deserve.  The School Director in Training (SDIT) Program serves as DSST’s multi-year advanced leadership development pathway for rising School Directors.  The School Director in Training Program at DSST Public Schools is grounded in these core beliefs:

The school leader is the most critical lever driving school and student success.

Leaders are the drivers of their development and own opportunities to optimize their growth.

The pursuit of educational equity is the reason we do this work; to be an exceptional leader, one must fiercely own the pursuit of equity across all domains.




In Year 1, SDITs engage in rigorous professional development through intensive coaching, observation/debrief cycles tightly aligned to individual growth plans, targeted development sessions, and on-the-job stretch opportunities while working alongside a Mentor School Director as a school-based leader (typically taking on the responsibilities and ownership for instruction, student culture, and/or school operations).  SDITs serve as systems, culture, curriculum, and instructional leaders while coaching and managing teams towards exceptional results.  




In Year 2, SDITs continue to engage in the rigorous on-the-job and supplemental development of Year 1 while layering on additional opportunities designed to prepare them to assume the role of School Director.  These opportunities may include: rotating leadership placements to learn alongside new Mentor School Directors, excellent school observations, robust external professional development, and the opportunity to serve as an Interim School Director at a DSST school.  After School Directors, SDITs serve as the most senior school-based leaders across the DSST network and assume exceptional responsibility for the results and success of a school. 




In consideration of the leadership needs of the network and the experience level of an SDIT, there are instances where the multi-year program may be accelerated to allow a SDIT to assume the role of School Director after a single year.




You Should Consider This Role If: 

You want to lead a DSST middle or high school.  The core of DSST’s School Director in Training Program centers on preparing promising rising leaders (YOU!) to lead rigorous, vibrant, and equitable schools within 1 to 3 years.

You are mission-driven at your core.  You are deeply connected and committed to DSST’s mission, and are unwavering in your belief that all students deserve access to an excellent education and can achieve at the highest level.

You are an unrelenting champion for equity.  You believe rigor, access, and opportunity for all is education equity. You devote time to learning and reflection on critical concepts related to race, power, and identity.  You value and successfully develop relationships across lines of difference, and your unyielding commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion drives actions and decisions.

You have a high bar for excellence and refuse to give up. You demonstrate the drive and aligned actions to take on more than is expected and never relent in pursuit of a challenging goal.  When things feel impossible, you innovate, iterate, and inspire your team to keep going with eagerness and optimism to achieve exceptional results.  

You love working with people. You believe in a school community where everyone can both belong and be themselves.  You have a strong understanding of and investment in people, an inclusive lens, and lead with a compassionate view of the human condition that can lead to transformative results. 

You are an eager and continuous learner.  You love a challenge, and feedback makes your heart grow fonder.  You seek and own opportunities to grow, and are deeply and comprehensively committed to being a school leader worth following.
