ABOUT US
The Partnership for Los Angeles Schools is looking for courageous and mission-driven teachers who inspire all students to see and realize their own brilliance and limitless potential.Launched in 2007, the Partnership is a nonprofit organization that serves 13,550 students across 20 schools in the LA Unified School District (LAUSD). The Partnership is one of the largest, in-district public school transformation organizations in the U.S. We are not a charter organization, Partnership schools are LAUSD schools, so teachers earn the same competitive pay, benefits, and UTLA membership as in any LAUSD school, AND there are lots of opportunities to earn extra!
As a Partnership teacher, you will inspire students, collaborate with peers across our network and grow professionally through leadership opportunities. We recognize that to be an effective teacher, you need support. We offer the following:
- Professional development opportunities in Literacy, Math, and Restorative Justice, above and beyond what is offered by LAUSD
- Peer observation, feedback, and other support from teacher leaders within the school
- A culture of collaborative teaching and learning, cycles of learning, and using data to make strategic decisions for students
- Partnership network of staff support in various aspects from math and literacy coaching, family and community engagement programs, and operations support
- "What do you love most about teaching at your school?"
- "What are the biggest misconceptions about teaching in Watts or South Los Angeles?”
- “What supports do you get as a teacher in your schools?”
- “What is your experience at your school site with middle schoolers?”
- “What would you like prospective teachers to know?”
