Breakthrough Manchester: Background
Breakthrough Manchester offers you a rigorous and rewarding opportunity through its summer teaching internships. We balance the teaching experience so that you can be challenged while also achieving success as a young teacher. On one hand, we give you tremendous ownership over your experience and opportunities to take on leadership within our community. On the other hand, we balance your responsibilities with intensive support, training, and resources. We maintain high standards of excellence for students, teachers, and the professional staff at Breakthrough and define our success as a community by the success of each individual within the community. We often describe teaching at Breakthrough Manchester as the hardest thing youve ever done. Our teachers report that this is no understatement, but its also the reason they enjoy our community so much. The value of the teaching experience is evidenced in the number of people who teach more than once at Breakthrough Manchester; typically, a majority of our summer faculty returns to teach for at least a second summer, and some teach for multiple years.

Teacher Internship Description:
Teaching at Breakthrough Manchester changes you, your students, and the world. Breakthrough is one of the foremost opportunities for high school and undergraduate college students to learn the foundational skills of teaching. As a Breakthrough teacher intern, you learn by doing; we teach you how to write powerful lesson plans that activate learning and use effective teaching strategies to engage and motivate your students.
While its a pretty special community, theres nothing magical about Breakthrough. Having high expectations means a lot of hard work, long days, revising plans over and over, and always looking for ways to be more effective. It is the most challenging eight weeks of your life. Which is exactly why the most hard working and talented high school and college students love this opportunity.
Breakthrough Manchester is a part of the Breakthrough Collaborative, an educational movement across America aimed at providing educational equity for all students, regardless of race, class, or personal circumstance. Free room and board is provided for out-of-town applicants.
