How to Apply for Mid-Year Teaching Opportunities

If you’re certified, you don’t have to wait until next September to teach at NYC Ʒ߿ (NYCPS). Apply now for open positions in the current school year and start teaching immediately.

Step 1

Complete the Mid-Year Teaching Opportunities Form

Enter your certification details, a reference, preferences for grade level and borough, and upload your resume and proof of certification.

Step 2

NYCPS reviews your submission

The initial review can take two to four weeks. Once your application is accepted, it will be shared with principals via the New Teacher Finder.

Step 3

Search for open jobs at schools

Candidates will receive vacancy lists of positions that match their certification area and borough preferences. Candidates will also be invited to in-person and virtual networking events throughout the season.

Step 4

Apply to open roles at your preferred school(s)

Reach out to principals at your preferred schools with a short cover letter explaining your interest in the open role. You may be asked to complete an interview and a demo lesson at the school.

Step 5

Prepare for your start date

Once hired, you will get instructions on how to complete several tasks before your first day, like getting fingerprinted.
