TEACHERS & ADMINISTRATORS

THE PLACEMENT PROCESS

The Placement Team at EA is known for respecting candidates' wishes and providing them with close personal attention and guidance. 

STEP 1: APPLY

PROSPECTIVE CANDIDATES

The first step in the process is for prospective candidates to apply for EA representation via our website. Once an application has been received, applicants will receive an email notification letting them know if they have been accepted as an Educator’s Ally candidate. If accepted, candidates will be directed to follow up with an EA Placement Manager.

STEP 2: ACCEPTANCE

ACCEPTED CANDIDATES

Once an accepted candidate has connected with their Placement Manager, a comprehensive placement file will be assembled. This file will include the following documents:​

  • RESUME

  • PERSONAL STATEMENT and/or EDUCATIONAL PHILOSOPHY

  • COLLEGE/GRADUATE SCHOOL TRANSCRIPTS 

  • LETTERS OF RECOMMENDATION (Optional)

  • REFERENCE LIST 

  • CANDIDATE PROFILE (A Placement Manager's insights about a candidate)

OUR COMMITMENT

The EA Team is committed to partnering closely with our candidates. Throughout the process, we provide guidance and feedback; always respecting their wishes and desires. 

As our schools inform us of openings suitable to an individual educator’s experience, we will contact the candidate to confirm that there is interest in being considered. Once we have that confirmation, we will refer the candidate to the school and serve as an advocate for them throughout the process.

​

Unfortunately, we cannot accept all applicants who wish to be represented by Educator’s Ally. The schools with which we work are among the most selective in the nation and they look to us to provide them with the most qualified teachers and administrators who will be the best possible fit for their unique institutions.

"I really appreciated working with EA throughout our leadership search. The personal, responsive, transparent and collegial approach the EA team brought to our search made them a pleasure to work with and resulted in our finding the right match."

Aaron Cooper, New Canaan Country School

Head of School

WHY US

CONFIDENTIALITY

In many cases, we work with candidates who prefer that their searches remain confidential. We honor this request and ensure that our schools do as well.
