As the birthplace of public education in this nation, the Boston Public Schools is committed to transforming the lives of all children through exemplary teaching in a world-class system of innovative, welcoming schools. We partner with the community, families, and students to develop in every learner the knowledge, skill, and character to excel in college, career, and life.
The BPS Recruitment, Cultivation & Diversity Programs (RCD) within the Division of Equity, Strategy, and Opportunity Gaps combines talent acquisition and cultivation, pipeline development, new teacher development and diversity programs to better support candidates and employees from recruitment throughout their careers. We are committed to recruiting, hiring, developing, and retaining a racially, ethnically, culturally, and linguistically diverse group of highly effective and culturally proficient teachers and principals every year. In addition, the Boston Public Schools encourages applications from members of other historically marginalized groups, such as people with disabilities and people who identify as LGBTQ+.
We continue to focus our efforts on three key “levers” for human capital reform: Build and Support Pipelines, Cultivation, and Develop and Retain. These levers remain at the center of our strategy for accelerating student learning.
