Cooperative Middle School, a proud member of SAU 16, serves the vibrant communities of Brentwood, East Kingston, Exeter, Kensington, Newfields, and Stratham. Our school, catering to students in grades 6-8, is home to nearly 1000 learners. At SAU 16, our commitment is to provide personalized and innovative instruction, ensuring that each graduate embodies engaged learning and citizenship. We aim for our students to demonstrate problem-solving skills independently and collaboratively, with perseverance, resilience, and the ability to communicate solutions confidently and empathetically.

As an AmeriCorps member, you will play a crucial role in supporting CMS’s tier two students—individuals who may benefit from short-term assistance or targeted reteaching of specific skills. Drawing upon a diverse array of resources, you’ll provide dedicated support to identified students. The school district will equip you with the necessary training associated with all materials, ensuring you’re well-prepared to make a meaningful impact.

Your engagement with students will be both scheduled and flexible. During scheduled services, students will gather at an identified location to work with you, benefitting from your expertise. In flexible settings, you’ll offer support to students during moments of dysregulation or when a student has earned a reward for achieving their goals. CMS has designated spaces ready for both scheduled and flexible services, ensuring a conducive environment for impactful interactions.

Come be a part of our transformative educational experience and contribute to the development of young minds in a region renowned for its beauty and community spirit. Join us in shaping the future at Cooperative Middle School, where every day presents an opportunity to make a difference. Apply now to build something new and impactful with us!
