Dear Teacher,
Welcome back to a
new school year! While the school year is getting underway, we want to
let you know of an upcoming event to meet with principals who have
vacancy needs for teachers. On Tuesday, September 20, 2011 the New York
City Department of Education will be holding a mandatory recruitment
fair for teachers in the Absence Teacher Reserve (ATR) pool assigned to
schools in Brooklyn, Queens or Staten Island. Unlike hiring events held throughout the summer,
as a teacher in the Reserve pool from one of these boroughs, you are
required to attend this event, which is being held from 1:00 p.m. (specific
check-in times below). You will be expected to stay until the end of
the school day and encouraged to stay until the end of the event at
approximately 4:00 p.m.
The event will take
place at the Brooklyn Museum, 200 Eastern Parkway, Brooklyn, NY. If you
need directions to this location, please use http://hopstop.com for public transportation or http://mapquest.com for driving directions.
You should plan to
report to your assigned school at the start of the school day and then
travel to the fair. Lunch will not be served at the fair, but you are
entitled to the contracted amount of time for lunch on your own before
the fair. When you leave the recruitment fair you will be provided with
documentation of your attendance to submit to your school. There is no
pre-registration for this fair. However, to facilitate smoother
admission to the event, we ask that you arrive at the time below
corresponding to your last name.

As with other
recruitment events held this summer, this will be an opportunity for you
to meet with school representatives regarding potential vacancies. We
encourage you to treat this as you would any job interview opportunity
and recommend business attire as well as that you bring 10-15 copies of
your resume. Note that you will be asked for a copy of your resume upon
check in so that the Division of Human Resources & Talent can
provide it to schools with vacancies in your subject area upon request.
If you need assistance on resume writing or interviewing, resources are
available at the Teacher Hiring Support Center site, http://thscnyc.org
Bronx and Manhattan Fair (Non-Mandated)
If you would like to
take advantage of another opportunity to meet with principals, the New
York City Department of Education is also holding a teacher recruitment
fair this coming Tuesday, September 13, 2011 for schools in the boroughs
of the Bronx and Manhattan and for ATRs in these boroughs. You are not
required to attend this, and doing so would be your own choice. Should
you wish to attend, you need to notify your school in advance so they
can make appropriate arrangements. This event is also being held from
1:00 p.m. to approximately 4:00 p.m. with the same check-in time
schedule by last name.
If you have any
questions regarding the recruitment fair or related job search support,
please contact the Teacher Hiring Support Center at thsc@schools.nyc.gov. For questions regarding your status as in the Absent Teacher Reserve, please contact HR Connect at (718) 935-4000. We look forward to seeing you at the event.
Sincerely,
Teacher Hiring Support
Division of Human Resources & Talent
New York City Department of Education
Please note: If
you have been hired into a fully appointed or provisional position and
are no longer part of the ATR pool, you are not required to attend the
event.
