Summer teaching fellow position!

Our teachers are high school seniors and college-age students, which means the program can leverage positive peer relationships to accomplish our dual mission of setting young people on the path to college, while engaging older students in the art of teaching. All our teachers receive over 250 hours of hands-on student interaction, over 80 hours of training in best practice approaches, and support of experienced Instructional Coaches.

Breakthrough Minneapolis at Blake (formerly LearningWorks) is a unique public-private partnership between Minneapolis Public Schools and The Blake School. Since 2000, we have prepared students to thrive in college and offered real-world teaching experiences to high school and college students.

Our mission is to support motivated students in overcoming barriers on their paths to college through engaging, academically-rigorous, out-of-school programs while inspiring and preparing promising high school and college students, especially those of color, to become the next generation of teachers.

We have an aspirational vision of what school and learning could be for all students when education is student centered, culturally responsive, and equitable.

We are committed to fostering the success of a diverse group of young people as learners, educators, and leaders.
