Recruiting Our Newest Teachers

Dear New Yorkers,

Today we are wrapping up Career Discovery Week, when 3,000-plus high school students visit dozens of employers to learn firsthand about the world of work. On Monday, alongside our co-organizers at the Partnership for New York City, I spoke with students from Aviation High School and MESA Charter High School, who toured a JetBlue airplane at JFK Airport—and met Aviation alumni who now work at JetBlue!

As employers across the city connect with our talented NYCPS students, it feels like the perfect time to do some recruiting of my own. I’m excited to let you know that our New Teacher Application for the 2024–25 school year is now live, open to anyone who currently holds New York State teacher certification or is on track to be certified by September. (To our current high school students, especially those in our FutureReadyNYC education pathway, please keep us in mind a few years down the road!)

Here’s how you can help us spread the word about this opportunity:

Candidates should check our website for a range of helpful resources, including an application guide, info sessions, and our online support center. Plus, they can learn more about our $1,000 early commitment stipend, available to eligible candidates in key certification areas (like math, science, bilingual education, special education, career and technical education, and more) who accept a position in specific districts by June 15.

We’re eager to welcome our newest teachers to the NYCPS community—a community that is over 75,000 educators strong. So I’m asking you to take a moment and brainstorm. Do you know any seasoned or soon-to-be teachers? Are they passionate and committed? Could they make an impact in our classrooms?

If so, please pass along this message. We’re building bright starts and bold futures at NYCPS—and we’re hiring!

Soaring high,

David C. Banks
Chancellor
