At Pittsburgh Public Schools, we know that teachers have a profound impact on student success, not just in school, but in all aspects of life. Students of effective teachers learn at a faster rate, feel cared for, and are challenged and engaged in their learning.
What We Look For
We’re looking for educators with a multitude of backgrounds, life experiences, and interests to help ensure all Pittsburgh students graduate ready to complete college or attain a workforce certification. Our students need culturally-responsive educators who know how to leverage students’ unique skills, interests, and learning styles to create a learning experience that unequivocally includes and empowers each and every student.
What You Can Expect
At Pittsburgh Public Schools, your success translates to student success. That’s why we ensure you receive the support you need, including personalized feedback from supervisors, a full-year induction and support program for new teachers, and systems of collegial support. Our professional development supports teachers in designing lessons that are accessible to all students—students of color, students with special needs, and students who speak English as a second language. Educators can access more than a dozen types of supports across different learning formats, including online resources, formal training, peer support, and school-based learning. You'll also have opportunities to advance in your career, leading the way in transformational change in our schools and for our students.
