    Expand the Opportunity. Change Lives.

    Cleveland teachers do more than deliver lessons: they work to ensure that every child reaches their full potential. We're looking for teachers who are driven by a passion to serve our diverse community of learners. We want educators who are excited to develop a corps of future first-generation college students, community leaders, and entrepreneurs. We want you to help build the future of our city.

    Taking Risks. Doing Whatever it Takes.

    CMSD is bringing a startup culture to its schools. We’re encouraging our educators to find cutting-edge solutions to improve student learning. From launching a large-scale blended learning initiative to creating small schools founded on mastery-based learning models, CMSD teachers are showing what educational innovation looks like in the 21st Century.

    If you’re an entrepreneurial educator, you won’t be on your own in CMSD. Peers, principals, District leadership and the entire community will have your back. Through The Cleveland Plan, CMSD has dramatically increased the amount of feedback and support teachers receive for their classroom instruction. We’ve strengthened ties with the business community so you can expand your students’ learning beyond the classroom. We’ve created new opportunities for great teachers to grow into school leadership roles.

    A portfolio school model is an integral part of The Cleveland Plan, so you’ll always be able to find a place that’s exactly the right fit. Enthusiastic about cultivating the next generation of doctors? Committed to promoting global citizenship? Passionate about growing young women leaders or supporting the My Brother’s Keeper initiative? At CMSD, there’s a school for that.
