    Requiring all Associate Teachers to obtain their SEI endorsement through participation in a Match organized SEI course that is taught by a DESE approved course provider.

    What is the MAT experience?

    Match Associate Teachers (MATs) are placed on grade-level (K-5) or subject level (6-12), or Special Education teams, at Match Public Charter School for an intensive year-long apprenticeship.

    Throughout the year, MATs are coached and mentored by expert teachers and leaders at Match and gradually assume more classroom responsibilities.

    MATs receive highly practical, hands-on training in effectively designing and implementing rigorous instruction, and in building classroom cultures consistent with achievement, purposefulness and joy.

    Through extensive self reflection partnered with feedback, coaching and classroom experience, MATs develop and strengthen their practice as educators with the goal of becoming unusually effective rookie lead teachers at one of the Match campuses in the following school year.


    How it works :


    The MAT programmatic year runs from August 1- July 31 at the nationally acclaimed Match Charter Public School, which serves students in grades pre-K-12 in Boston.

    Approximately twelve aspiring teachers convene to make up the MAT cohort. Members of this cohort are placed at one of Matchs three campuses, either the elementary, middle or high school.
    MATs spend full days in classrooms with host teachers where they observe, assist, and gradually assume student teaching responsibilities.

    Throughout the year, MATs attend wrap-around training and support through professional development designed specifically for their cohort as well as professional development with their campus based colleagues.

    The MATs dedicated mentor teacher and school leaders provide frequent personalized feedback to MATs as their teaching experiences and responsibilities are ramped up.

    At the end of the program, successful MATs who have gained Massachusetts provisional licensure are highly prioritized for open positions at Match in the following school year.

    To continue their training, MATs who will return to Match have the option to teach Summer Academy. This serves as an opportunity for MATs to gain more experience in preparation to become a lead teacher.

    Duties & Responsibilities
    Responsibilities of a Match Associate Teacher gradually increase and include, but are not limited to:
    Serve as a teaching assistant in the classroom.

    Observe and provide in-class support to a host teacher.
    Actively receive and implement coaching from Match staff.

    Support the host teachers with grading, material development, family communication, etc.
    Support school-wide duties (breakfast, lunch, dismissal, etc.) as needed.
