Job Description

We are currently seeking candidates for positions that have not yet been filled for the 2018-2019 school year. Successful candidates must be willing and able to attend an in-person hiring prep workshop, and a culminating in-person hiring fair with our partner schools, in New York City in October 2018 in anticipation of filling mid-year vacancies as early as November 2018. Applications will be accepted on a rolling basis, so it is to your advantage to apply as soon as possible.
Our Hiring Process
Successful candidates applying to the Teachers for NYC Charter Schools program should expect to participate in the following steps:
- Submit your initial application to the Teachers for NYC Charter Schools program. This application includes your basic background, contact, and educational information, your resume, and written responses to four (4) short answer prompts.
- If invited to the next stage, you will complete a recorded video interview. We will provide you with several short answer prompts for you to respond to in your video.
- Once enrolled in our program, you will be required to attend an in-person workshop in NYC designed to prepare you for the culminating hiring fair with our partner schools. The workshop is scheduled for October 13th and the hiring fair will be held immediately after the close of the workshop content sessions.
