We are thrilled to announce that the 7th Annual NYC Progressive Public & Charter School Job Fair for Teachers of Color will take place March 20th from 12pm - 2pm. This year, we are 100% virtual! This year’s fair will take place via Airmeet, a dynamic video conferencing platform that will allow candidates to circulate the virtual job fair and have live interactions with school representatives!
Finding the right school can be hard - the goal of this job fair is to connect progressive educators of color with progressive schools that share their educational beliefs, values, and goals. Register today, and invite your friends and colleagues!
**Registration for teachers is strongly encouraged, but not required.
Each school will have a virtual, branded table.
All tables will be visible to candidates as they enter the main room as pictured in the visual on the right.
Candidates can click to visit your virtual table. There, schools and educators can meet 1:1 or in small groups.
By looking at the icons, they can even see how many people are already visiting that school's table!
Pop back into the main room anytime! You will be given the live link in the days leading up to the event!
We will also host a walkthrough of the platform for schools a week prior to the event, as well as run through logistics the morning of the event before candidates arrive!
Finding the right school can be hard - our goal is to connect progressive schools with diverse educators who share the same educational beliefs, values, and goals. The PTOC fair was co-founded by two classroom teachers in 2015, who recognized the need for more teachers of color in progressive schools in New York City, and who wanted to create a space where teachers could meet with both public and charter schools. It has quickly grown into one of the most well-attended teacher job fairs in New York City.
ALL SCHOOLS:
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 responsive, 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.
CHARTER SCHOOLS:
In order to maintain the intimate nature of the fair and to maintain our unique balance of public and charter schools, we limit the number of charter schools that can register. Additionally, we prioritize progressive independent schools that are not part of a large network and have fewer resources. If your charter school is part of a network of more than 3 schools, you must apply prior to registration for one of the spots. Visit https://tinyurl.com/PTOCApp2021 to apply for the fair.
Whether you are a seasoned teacher or new educator, don't miss the opportunity to connect in-person with school leaders and representatives in a warm and welcoming environment. The event is free for job seekers, and is the only job fair where you can connect with both public and charter schools in the same space. Candidates who attend the job fair are much more likely to secure interviews than those who rely on emails and online applications. Register today, and help us spread the word!
