Clear your calendars - last year was a success so we're doing it again! The 3rd annual NYC Progressive Public and Charter School Job Fair for Teachers of Color kicks off on March 11th and you're invited! Finding the right school can be hard - the goal of this job fair is to connect progressive educators of color with schools that share their educational beliefs, values, and goals. For more information, email tokuyemi@communityroots.org.
About Us
The goal of this fair is to connect schools with diverse educators who share the same educational beliefs and values. Co-founded by two classroom teachers in 2015, the fair has quickly grown to become one of the largest public-charter school job fairs in New York City. Our original small team of two teachers has doubled this year to increase our capacity to organize this amazing event.
We believe that education works best when teachers and schools are a good "match" for each other. The schools attending this fair tend to favor more flexible, progressive practices over the "no-excuses" model. Educators will be looking for schools with features such as: collaborative learning, a responsive curriculum with a heavy emphasis on social justice, holistic testing, project based learning, LGBTQ friendly policies, expeditionary learning, and Restorative Justice practices. Schools who feel their educational philosophy is a good fit for this job fair are invited to register. Please, no network charter managment organizations (CMOS).
SCHOOL REGISTRATION DEADLINE: FRIDAY, MARCH 3RD
Public schools may be eligible for fee waivers. Please contact us for more information.
