            Certified teachers, degreed professionals working on certification, and instructional support professionals seeking employment in a Louisiana public charter school are invited to attend the 18th annual free Charter School Teacher Fair presented by the Greater New Orleans Collaborative of Charter Schools (GNOCCS).

The in-person event will be held on Saturday, March 2, 9 a.m. to 12 noon at Hynes Charter School, 990 Harrison Ave. in Lakeview. Registration is open now.

Interested teachers, as well as other degreed school professionals including  nurses, counselors, coaches, and administrators, are encouraged to pre-register online now at www.gnocollaborative.com to participate and receive information and details about the fair.

“This year, over 30 schools in the Greater New Orleans Collaborative of Charter Schools and its partners will be represented at the Teacher Fair,” said GNOCCS President Michelle Douglas.  “Full and part-time positions are available for all subjects and grade-levels PK-12.”

“Our Teacher Fair has traditionally been the largest, single-day public charter school employment fair in Louisiana,” according to GNOCCS Director Ken Ducote.

Interested candidates can post resumes now for charter school leaders to review on the GNOCCS website prior to the event. GNOCCS has operated for 18 years the first centralized website in Louisiana to facilitate the recruitment of quality teachers for charter schools. The main features of this effort are an on-going system of website-postings of applicant resumes and charter school available positions.

 “Principals and administrators will share information about the benefits of working at their charter schools,” said Dr. Ducote. “Teachers and aspiring teachers should post their resumes, teaching certificates, references and any other relevant information for immediate consideration. Degreed professionals interested in obtaining teacher certification may also obtain information on alternative certification programs from our university partners.”

The fair is sponsored by the Greater New Orleans Collaborative of Charter Schools (GNOCCS) with support from the School Leadership Center (SLC) of Greater New Orleans and the Pro Bono Publico Foundation.
