"We can’t improve, build, or provide a more supportive environment if we don’t do it together. Our community is full of so many smart, committed professionals in Providence."
- Dr. Tulani Freeman, School Psychologist at Nathan Bishop Middle School
SUPPORTING OUR TEACHERS
There are many reasons to pursue a career in the Providence Public Schools Department (PPSD). PPSD offers its teachers a competitive salary and benefits package with numerous incentives for early contracts, hard-to-fill positions, advanced degrees, and more. Teachers in the Providence Public Schools also receive tailored supports, abundant resources, and leadership opportunities as they continue their careers.
Teaching is more than just a job, it’s a career that connects us to our personal why’s. PPSD strives to provide its teachers with the resources and supports they need to grow and thrive in their teaching practice.
