Applicants can interview for multiple positions Saturday, provided they\u2019ve been selected by principals for an interview. That could allow applicants to set up their day so they\u2019re finished in the morning or just have an afternoon of interviews.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf I was being interviewed, I would like it that way,\u201d said Theresa Harvey, principal at Lewis Lemon Elementary School.<\/p>\n
In previous years, if a teacher wanted to interview for jobs at East and Jefferson high schools and Flinn and Kennedy middle schools, for example, that teacher would have to drive to each site and interview at different times and dates. Principals would interview candidates over a few weeks.<\/p>\n
Harvey plans to interview candidates for about six openings and, like other principals, may need time beyond Saturday to conduct further interviews.<\/p>\n
\u2018One-stop shopping\u2019<\/strong> \u201cThis is one-stop shopping,\u201d France said. \u201cTime management-wise, for the teachers, it\u2019s going to be easier.\u201d<\/p>\n France, who is now principal at Flinn, will work double duty, interviewing teachers to work at East and keeping an eye on candidates vying for jobs at Flinn.<\/p>\n Applicants are looking for teacher jobs anywhere they can as Illinois struggles to make aid payments to school districts. France said he\u2019s noticing applicants are hailing from Beloit, Wis., the Harlem School District, South Beloit, Sterling, Naperville and even St. Charles.\u00a0<\/p>\n Some not qualified<\/strong> France and other principals are weeding out unqualified applicants through a prescreening process with the Illinois State Board of Education.<\/p>\n Five assistant principals will help France conduct the East interviews. So far, he said, at least 35 to 40 candidates are planning to interview Saturday for the nearly 20 open positions.<\/p>\n About 30 people are scheduled to interview for up to 14 jobs at Flinn.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s a busy day,\u201d he said. \u201cBut the volume that I am seeing at Flinn is basically the same” as last year.<\/p>\n Two categories of tenured teachers will receive priority placement this fall, though they must still go through the interview process: surplus teachers \u2014 those who were dismissed from their position and guaranteed a job in the fall \u2014 and those who elect to transfer to another job within the district.<\/p>\n No priority will be given to nontenured teachers who were let go from the district last month. Read the original article from the Distributed via Principals say an all-day job interview event for Rockford School District teacher candidates will streamline the hiring process and should benefit job candidates. Nine hours are set aside at Guilford High School Saturday for principals to interview candidates for about 300 open teacher positions for the fall.
