SY26-27 Impact Prep Middle School History Teacher 

Grade Level: 6-8

Full Time Start Date: August 2026 (exact start date TBD) 

Base Salary: Up to $96,864.45 and commensurate with experience 

Role Overview

Educators in the Springfield Empowerment Zone Partnership are responsible for ensuring that students have access to strong instruction, experience a deep sense of belonging in school, and are prepared for meaningful academic and life opportunities.

SEZP educators serve as instructors, mentors, and collaborators. They contribute to school communities that value strong relationships, clear expectations, and continuous improvement—for students and for adults.

Core Responsibilities

Access to High-Quality Learning

  • Deliver rigorous, standards-aligned instruction using research-based curriculum and effective instructional strategies
  • Ensure all students can access grade-level content through thoughtful lesson design, scaffolding, and embedded supports
  • Use student data and formative assessment to adjust instruction and promote academic growth

    • Belonging and School Community

  • Build strong, trusting relationships with students grounded in consistency, respect, and high expectations
  • Contribute positively to a school culture where students feel known, supported, and accountable
  • Collaborate closely with colleagues, including participation in co-teaching teams and professional learning communities
  • Engage families as partners through regular communication and shared problem-solving

    • Opportunity and Growth

  • Support students in developing the skills, habits, and confidence needed for success in high school and beyond
  • Participate actively in professional learning, coaching, and feedback cycles
  • Contribute to the development of future educators by modeling strong practice, hosting residents or student teachers when applicable, and supporting a culture of adult learning

    • Additional Responsibilities

  • Uphold school-wide expectations related to curriculum, assessment, and professional conduct
  • Perform other duties as assigned by the Principal

    • Qualifications

  • Experience teaching at the middle or high school level
  • Valid Massachusetts Deparment of Elementary and Secondary Education license in the appropriate subject and grade level (History/Social Science) . Candidates not yet licensed may be eligible for a licensure waiver and are encouraged to apply
  • Demonstrated ability to support a range of learners through strong instruction and relationship-building
  • Bilingual English/Spanish proficiency preferred
  • Bachelor's degree

    • If you meet many—but not all—of the qualifications above, we encourage you to apply. SEZP values educators who are reflective, collaborative, and committed to continuous growth.

    We encourage you to reach out to us at if you have questions about the role or your qualifications. We are happy to help you feel ready to apply 

    Benefits

    Educators joining SEZP may also be eligible for the following recruitment incentives, which may be offered individually:

  • Signing bonus in addition to base salary
  • Relocation award for candidates from regions beyond western Massachusetts

    • About the Springfield Empowerment Zone Partnership: 

    While Massachusetts is consistently ranked as one of the top states for education results in the country, we have one of the highest and most persistent opportunity gaps. The Springfield Empowerment Zone Partnership (SEZP) - established in 2015 as a collaboration between Springfield Public Schools (SPS), the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE), and the Springfield Education Association (SEA) – seeks to improve the longitudinal life outcomes of the more than 2,500 students in our 8 middle schools. 

    SEZP combines district-based public education with the flexibility of autonomous school models, granting schools meaningful control over curriculum, staffing, scheduling, and budgeting—while maintaining clear accountability for student learning and growth.

    Across all of its work—including school improvement and educator preparation—SEZP is guided by three core values:

  • Access: Expanding access to strong learning environments, skilled mentors, and clear pathways for students and educators

  • Belonging: Building communities where people are known, supported, and accountable to one another

  • Opportunity: Preparing students and educators to learn, lead, and thrive over time
