Southern Teachers Job Fairs - Atlanta February 4, 2017

Greetings from Southern Teachers! I hope you are enjoying the cooler, fall weather. In Charlottesville, the leaves have just begun changing colors and the mornings are pleasantly crisp.

Southern Teachers is now recruiting your best seniors who you think will be excellent chemistry teachers!

Here’s what to expect:

·         Southern Teachers already has openings listed for the 2017-18 academic year, with an expected total of 3,000 listings.

·         It can take a bit of time to progress from applicant to active candidate with Southern Teachers - we review each application, accept candidates we believe we can be a good resource for, interview each candidate to understand the specifics of their job search, and then check references for each candidate.

·         This year we will have two Southern Teachers Job Fairs for our active candidates – one in Atlanta on February 4 and one in Washington, D.C. on March 25.

Encourage your students to apply now to become a candidate with us so they don’t miss out on these opportunities!

Southern Teachers is the premier placement agency for private schools in the South. Since 1902, we have helped thousands of teachers – both rookie and experienced – find jobs from Maryland to Miami to Midland, TX. Don’t forget, our service is free to candidates! They do NOT need a teaching license or education major to be successful.

As always, if you have questions about Southern Teachers, please feel free to call or email me anytime. You can read more about us here.

Southern Teachers Agency | Chemistry Teaching Jobs

Chemistry Teaching Jobs

Southern Teachers Agency has quite a few chemistry and physical science job listings from schools for the 2013-14 academic year.  These jobs range from physical science at the middle-school level through high school AP Chemistry.  It is common for science teachers to teach more than one kind of science, so some of these positions will require a chemistry teacher to lead sections of biology, physics, or another science. If you know of students who are interested in teaching science after they graduate, please consider forwarding this information to them.

STA is the oldest teacher-placement service in America.  We receive job listings from hundreds of PK-12 private schools around the South.  Schools come to STA because they recognize the value of STA’s help in recruiting & screening talented candidates. 

Certification is not required by private schools for many science teaching jobs.

Click here to view current science teaching jobs

Requirements: 

For most of these chemistry teaching jobs, a bachelor’s degree with a major in chemistry (or at the very least a chemistry minor) is essential, but teacher certification is not.  Of course, a degree in science education is highly desirable, as is a master’s degree in chemistry.  Candidates should have a GPA of 3.0 or higher.  Some of these positions require prior teaching experience.

Application process: 

Interested candidates should apply to Southern Teachers Agency by submitting a completed STA application (available online), along with a resume and cover letter toteachers@southernteachers.com.

Atlanta Urban Teacher Residency Program for Math and Science Students

If your students have ever thought about making a difference and are passionate about urban youth, the Atlanta Urban Teacher Residency (AUTR) may be the program for them. AUTR will prepare individuials to teach in Atlanta Public Schools to impact the lives of children in the city of Atlanta. As a resident in the AUTR cohort selected individuals will participate in an intense program focused on recruiting, preparing and retaining secondary mathematics and science teachers in Atlanta Public Schools.

Our mission is to create a pipeline of highly effective secondary teachers in the Atlanta Public School's areas of greatest need - math, science, reading, and special education - through an Urban Teacher Residency.

As APS seeks to ensure that there is an effective teacher in every classroom, AUTR will prepare an elite cadre of teachers to go into high needs schools. AUTR has identified master teachers to train and support residents as they earn their master's degree and develop their skills as highly effective classroom teachers.

The Atlanta Urban Teacher Residency focuses on innovative mathematics and science teaching and learning in middle and high schools. The Urban Teacher Residency (UTR) model is similar to the medical residency program model. AUTR is a member of a network of UTR programs across the country. Our program is designed to recruit teachers for high need positions and give them a strong year of "on the job" training and support followed by intense post-residency support.

Please have interested students learn more about the program at www.atlantapublicschools.us/autr<http://www.atlantapublicschools.us/autr> to learn more and to apply. The deadline for application is February 1, 2013. If you or your students have questions please do not hesitate to contact me at kamerson@atlantapublicschools.us<mailto:kamerson@atlantapublicschools.us> or 404-802-2383.

Interested in K-12 teaching?

On Tuesday, Oct. 25th, we will have an Information Session on the Georgia State graduate program in science education and two great funding opportunities for future science teachers. The program begins at 6:30 p.m. in the Clough Bldg, room 205 (Undergrad Studies, by the information desk and Starbucks). This will be casual and conversational. Everyone is welcome!

GSU students--some of whom are Tech alumni--and faculty from the graduate-level Science Education department will be at Tech to talk about the programs and share their experiences as they transition to teaching science (Broad Field, Biology, Chemistry, Earth & Space, or Physics).

The evening will highlight the I-MAST Scholars Program (Impacting Metro-Atlanta Science Teaching). This NSF-funded program is a GT/GSU partnership to support Tech students and alumni who want to become science educators (grades 6-12). The scholarship is worth between $12,000-$24,000. Tech students are eligible to receive the scholarship during their senior year (at Tech) and also during their MAT year (at GSU), or just for the MAT year. In addition to funding, the I-MAST also provides a professional learning community, support during the first years of teaching, and opportunities to attend and present at conferences.

And we will also have a presentation on the Knowles Science Teaching Fellowship (KSTF). The KSTF is a nationally-prestigious fellowship for people with STEM degrees who choose to become passionate teacher leaders in Biology, the Physical Sciences, or Math. The 5-year fellowship is worth approximately $150,000. One of the 2011 KSTF Biology Fellows is from Georgia and currently in the MAT at GSU. She will talk about the application process, the KSTF program and benefits, and be able to share her path from a BS in Biology to starting her teaching career. This is a great way to really learn about the program and get first-hand advice on preparing and applying for it. NOTE: KSTF funding can be used to support any teacher certification program, including alternative certification options-- it is not tied to GSU. See http://www.kstf.org/.
