school hiring overview
Embedded Files
WHAT: School hiring is part of the enrollment period during which Fellows seek out a teaching position to start the school year in a partner school in Indianapolis.
WHEN: School hiring season begins in early Spring and lasts through the start of the school year (typically February - August).
WHERE: The hiring process looks very different for each school partner. Some schools may want to interview over the phone, most will require an in-person interview at the school, and some will require that you do a sample teach.
HOW: You are responsible for leading your own job search. ITF assists the school hire process by providing school partners with resumes, alerting fellows when we know of opportunities, and asking school leaders to keep us in mind when they learn of a vacancy in their school. You must first be considered "School Hire Ready" before you are eligible to begin your job search.
Next Steps
In order to be eligible to begin your job search, ("school hire ready"), you must first complete the following steps.*
Carefully read through the School Hiring Guide
Update your Resume and School Hiring Bio using the ITF templates. You must format these correctly and incorporate ITF staff feedback.*
Complete the interview preparation activity - Submit this to the recruitment manager within 3 weeks of enrollment.
*After submitting your resume, it is possible school leaders will reach out to you before you've completed all of the above steps. In this case, you should move forward with the interview process. You should wait to actively pursue roles on your own until completing the steps above.
Searching for a teaching position can prove both exciting and challenging, and we want to assure you that our program staff is working hard to make this a smooth process for you.
