All student teachers will attend the GRREC Fair unless they are excused by the Office of Professional Educator Services (OPES).
Student Teachers will receive district slides about two weeks before the GRREC Fair to review which districts will be in attendance. These slides will have a lot of information about each individual district in attendance that day.
Student Teachers that do not see their preferred districts at the GRREC Fair, should not be concerned. The practice of networking and learning to visit with Human Resource and other administration is an important skill that will impact student teachers as they apply for jobs in other regional areas.
The GRREC Fair has other sessions, outside of district table exhibits that will be impactful for all student teachers.
Student Teachers are reminded to use their resume and introductory videos to market themselves outside of the WKU GRREC Fair. We suggest student teachers email principals of preferred districts/schools and introduce themselves to show their interest in working in their district. They should include their resume and introductory video.
The following directions explain what is due OCT. 17th.

GRREC is very excited about the upcoming GRREC/WKU Job Fair!
Overview
Pre-Service Teacher candidates will create a slide deck (must use template provided with exact formatting) and submit the finished product, by clicking on the link to the Job Fair Submission Form. Once your slide deck has been submitted, it will be published and accessible to all participating school districts.
As a follow-up to your submission, each candidate will receive a district slide deck prior to the job fair. This will give the candidate an opportunity to become familiar and “get-to-know” more about each of the participating districts.
Step-by-Step Directions for Pre-Service Teacher Participation
Click HERE NOW to ‘Make a copy’ of the slide deck template
By default, Google will rename this file by placing the word COPY at the beginning of the file name. Rename the slide deck as follows: Last Name_First Name_WKU_PreService_Teachers
Do not change the layout of slide information or add anything, background color or fonts as all candidate presentations should have the same layout and format. Slide #3, (Introduction Video) is an opportunity to stand-out as you make your first impression with districts. Be creative and spend time selecting your background. Do not include any photographs of yourself in the slide deck.
Be sure to change Share settings to “Anyone who has the link” for all linked resources (resumes, websites, portfolios, etc.) as well as the slide deck before submitting.
Instructions for inserting the Introduction Video are included in the template (slide 3).
Clean up the slides by removing all provided instructions before submitting the final product.
All submissions are due FRIDAY, OCTOBER 17TH
