Reading Specialist

Maize has a lot to offer teachers new to the district and those new to the profession.  All new teachers are matched with a qualified mentor and both the mentor and mentee are supported by our team of Student Support Specialists and Instructional Coaches.  New teachers also participate in 8 half day professional development opportunities throughout the school year. 

Our teachers are encouraged to continue to learn and grow.  Professional learning days are well planned and cover relevant and timely topics.   We also offer a professional learning series that qualifies for college credits and tuition reimbursement for a Master’s degree. 

Safe and well-maintained facilities are another great feature found in the Maize district.  Through partnership with the Maize Police Department, we have Resource Officers at many of our schools and have invested in enhanced security features.

Our goal is to attract and retain the very best educators.  The Negotiated Agreement with salary schedule can be found on our website along with additional information regarding benefits.
