My name is Jose and I just graduated this past spring and I thought I'd send an email about the school I'm currently working at. This is a great opportunity if you want to teach, but don't think you're ready for your own classroom, if you want to work at a successful, awesome school that serves primarily black and latino students. I've been loving my year so far and would be happy to answer any questions about the MATCH Corps. Check below for more information. Also, in November we will be having a panel so we can talk in person if you have questions.
I'm sending you this email because I think you might be interested in the MATCH Corps, an urban education service year in which I'm currently participating. Here's some more information about the program:
The MATCH Corps program began in 2004 and is the first of its kind
in the nation. The Corps is a group of 90 top recent college
graduates who work one-on-one with six to eight MATCH High School
or Middle School students each day for an entire academic year.
Corps members live together in apartments nearby the Middle School
and in a dorm on the top floor of the High School. Both schools are
award-winning open-admission Charter Public Schools in Boston,
MA. This full-time service year program is designed to fully close
the academic Achievement Gap between minority students and their
non-minority peers, one student at a time.

Each Corps member works to guarantee the academic success of MATCH students while building
personal relationships. Corps members also undertake secondary
projects such as serving as teaching assistants, and may also coach
teams and power extracurricular programs.

We also offer an optional teacher training program called MATCH
Teacher Residency. In MTR, Corps members receive additional
training on the weekends with the aim of becoming unusually
effective first year teachers in high-poverty schools. Graduates of
MTR go on to teach at some of the most highly regarded charter
schools in the country and tend to outperform other rookie teachers
in the classroom.
