MSS offers teaching fellowships that provide new teachers with the professional development, leadership and classroom experience they need before leading a classroom of their own. The Teaching Fellow position allows new teachers to gain a first-hand experience from a successful, senior teacher in a high functioning classroom. In this environment, Teaching Fellows learn proven strategies to assist the educator in the development of their own highly functioning learning environment in the future.

Teachers are the most important in-school factor contributing to student achievement. We believe that great instruction results from innovation and collaboration, and is continuously improved by an ongoing dialogue and feedback exchange between the teacher and instructional leader. When something works, we celebrate it and share it!

At MSS, we have a growth mindset and believe that not only are our students on their own journey to learn and grow, but that all of the adults in the building are as well. Continuous learning is one of MSS’ core values and we believe there is always room to learn, grow and improve at each stage of your teaching career. We know that great teachers have the biggest impact on student achievement in our schools. That’s why we provide our teachers with rich opportunities to continue learning, leading and growing as professionals.

We acknowledge that teachers do a significant amount of work outside the classroom walls with parents, fellow teachers and leaders. We do everything we can to maximize time, resources and support so that our teachers spend more time teaching and less time doing paperwork.

Our vision is to prove what is possible for all students in South Carolina and to fundamentally alter expectations for educators and students working in schools that serve under-resourced communities. Our focus is on schools because we believe that educational opportunity is the gateway for economic and personal achievement. Every member of our team embraces this vision and understands their role in achieving our goals.

We understand the importance of recognizing and rewarding core classroom teachers who are dedicated to our students and the mission of Meeting Street Schools. For every five years of continued full-time employment, you will receive $10,000 paid out at the end of the school year.

Administered by Mass Mutual, the plan is designed to help you plan for your retirement, no matter what stage you are in your career. All employees are eligible to participate in the plan starting at their date of hire. Meeting Street Schools will match fifty percent of the first six percent of your eligible compensation. The match is paid to participant’s accounts on an annual basis.
