Boston Plan for Excellence (BPE) Information

Boston Plan for Excellence is an education organization operating a PreK-12 pathway of neighborhood based Teaching Academies -- schools that provide a world class education for all students while preparing outstanding new teachers for successful, sustainable careers as urban educators. We run two Teaching Academies in the Dudley neighborhood of Roxbury: Dudley Street Neighborhood Charter School and Dearborn STEM Academy. Through Boston Teacher Residency, a nationally recognized and replicated clinical model for training teachers, we prepare aspiring educators for the Boston Public Schools, and run a city-wide network of teacher support. Modeled after teaching hospitals, our Teaching Academies immerse aspiring Boston teachers in the best practices of the field. Our BTR "teacher residents" work side by side with experienced colleagues to implement research based practices, examine their impact on student learning, and refine instruction until every child is successful. We run two Teaching Academies: the Dudley Street Neighborhood Charter School and the Dearborn STEM Academy. Through our Dudley Promise Corps members, we provide high-quality extended learning time and academic support to students in the Dudley neighborhood of Roxbury.
