Why should I apply to work at a Teach California Charters school?
Use your knowledge and experience to ensure that California’s hard working students get California’s hardest working teachers. Become part of a movement that has a direct and immediate impact on the lives of students in our state. As a teacher, you are the single most important factor in raising student achievement. As a Teach California Charter teacher, you will join a network of like-minded professionals dedicated to working alongside you to improve public schools. This is your opportunity to take action.
What kind of background do I need?
Teach California Charters accepts applications from credentialed teachers. It is a highly selective program that is looking for experienced educators who can demonstrate leadership and achievement.
Applicants must have a bachelor's degree (conferred by July 2008) with a minimum GPA of 3.0.
Applicants must be authorized and eligible to teach in United States. Applicants may not have a felony record.
How do I apply?
We are no longer accepting applications for the 2008-2009 school year. For more information about teaching in California, please visit www.ctc.ca.gov. For more information about California charter schools, please visit www.myschool.org.
What happens after I apply?
Once candidates apply, all complete applications go through an initial review.
Exceptional credentialed candidates who pass through our rigorous screening process will be referred directly to school leaders for possible school based interviews.
All candidates will receive information via email regarding their application status within two weeks of submitting a completed application.
How long is this commitment?
We are looking for teachers that will make a permanent commitment to public education in the Teach California Charters schools.
How much will I be paid?
Schools participating in Teach California Charters offer salary scales that compare competitively with those of surrounding public school districts, along with standard benefit packages. These differ according to the different charter networks and are based on years of teaching experience, among other factors in your background.
Please check the Teacher Salary and Benefits page for more information.
What is the application deadline?
We are no longer accepting applications for the 2008-2009 school year. For more information about teaching in California, please visit www.ctc.ca.gov. For more information about California charter schools, please visit www.myschool.org.
When does my commitment actually begin?
Although the calendars on each campus differ, summer session positions will generally begin in late June or July and fall session positions will generally begin in mid- July or early August (including summer training). For more information about start dates at specific campuses, please contact the Teach California Charters office.
Do I need to be a resident of California to apply?
No. You do not need to be a resident of California to apply. Our schools attract the best teachers from across the country, and we encourage out of state candidates to apply.
You should, however, expect that you will be asked to travel to California for in-person interviewing at school sites prior to being hired.
Are credentialed teachers eligible to apply?
Credentialed teachers are encouraged to apply to Teach California Charters. This program is designed for current teachers committed to working as hard as possible to continue to ensure that California’s most challenged students succeed in high-performing charter schools.
