SERVICES FOR JOB SEEKERS

OUR SCHOOLS CONTACT US FOR CANDIDATE REFERRALS

Educator’s Ally provides personalized service to educators and school administrators. Our schools contact us for candidate referrals for a variety of teaching and administrative positions.

​

Teaching positions range from pre-kindergarten through Grade 12. Most positions require experience, as well as a masters degree, and we look for candidates with strong credentials who are dedicated to a career in independent school teaching.

​

While we place educators year-round, the majority of hiring takes place between February and June.

Over many years Educator's Ally has provided Trevor with great teachers. I know I can count on them to carefully

vet candidates and to send only those people who have the right qualifications for the position. They listen carefully to what we are looking for, I trust their judgment, and they have a good sense of which teachers will be a good match for our school. When we have a last-minute opening or a leave replacement, I call EA first because I know they will respond quickly with great candidates. Already this year they have helped us with two last minute hires!

COLLEGE SENIORS AND THE JOB SEARCH

We also recruit for openings for first year teachers in day and boarding schools. Unlike public schools, independent schools are not restricted by regulations that require their first year teachers to be certified, nor are they in most cases seeking education majors. What they are looking for is a strong undergraduate transcript and a proven interest in working with children (camp counseling, student teaching, volunteer work in schools) or experience working in the area of interest (e.g. admissions or development).

WORKING WITH EA

THE EA DIFFERENCE

Our day schools hire liberal arts majors as Fellows/Assistant Teachers, and sometimes (though rarely) as Head Teachers. Boarding schools hire recent graduates as Fellows, offering the opportunity to teach, coach, and serve as dorm supervisors. Volunteer teaching, student teaching, tutoring, camp counseling, and an interest in working in extra-curricular areas (sports, drama, community service, etc.) are all relevant experience and qualifications for an entry level position.Our day schools hire liberal arts majors as Fellows/Assistant Teachers, and sometimes (though rarely) as Head Teachers.
