If you’re ready to start your career as a City Schools teacher, here’s what you need to know.
What you’ll need to apply
- U.S. citizenship (or eligibility to work in the U.S.)
- Resume
- A copy of your transcript (official degree-conferred transcripts will be required if you’re offered a position, but an unofficial transcript is acceptable for the application)
If you don’t yet have a teaching license, you can still apply and work toward certification if you’re hired.
How to Apply
1 Apply online
Fill out our online application to determine eligibility for positions in the grade levels/subjects you’re interested in.
2 EPI assessment
After you complete your application, you’ll receive an email with instructions for completing the Educators Professional Inventory—a 45-minute assessment focused on the instructional skills we value most in City Schools.
3 Phone interview
Once we review your application, you may be invited to participate in a phone interview with a City Schools teacher ambassador—a veteran teacher who understands what it takes to succeed in our schools and can answer any questions you have.
4 Eligibility pool
Upon successful completion of the EPI and phone interview, you’ll be placed in our eligibility pool for teaching positions. This means principals can contact you about vacancies at their schools. We also encourage candidates in the eligibility pool to review our current list of teaching vacancies, learn more about schools with openings, and reach out to individual principals about the positions that best fit their skills and interests.
5 School interview
You may have the opportunity to interview with principals and teams at individual schools. If your interview is successful, principals can recommend hiring you. The Human Capital Office must also approve all employment offers.
