Authentic Relationships
Burke teachers love our kids. Ask any of them and they’ll tell you that’s why they choose to contribute their talents at Burke. They enjoy the challenge of managing, and celebrating, a classroom full of complicated and fascinating young adults. -
Collaboration
Teachers have the autonomy to design curriculum, drawing on the most effective practices and methodologies. Our teachers
actively seek out collaborations with their colleagues, learning from each other and co-creating interdisciplinary units that enhance students' ability to work across disciplines. -
Professional Development
We make it easy for teachers to attend conferences and workshops that help them hone their skills and run a comprehensive in-service program every year. Amid the pandemic, Burke partnered with Global Online Academy to provide professional development around creating courses and building strong relationships in a virtual space.
