Many interviews are conducted in the spring months, as administrators are looking to fill any known vacant positions at this time. The prime summer months are a great time to apply to teaching jobs. At this point, schools have a very clear picture of their hiring needs. You can anticipate schools to begin reaching out to you and conducting more interviews once the school year has ended. August and September are hot hiring months!
As many administrators return from their summer breaks, they will begin conducting a second round of interviews to continue filling their staffing needs. It is not uncommon for schools to hire the bulk of their new teachers two weeks before the start of the new school year! In fact:. Many of the job postings during these months are last-second jobs, which means that hiring managers must act fast!
After the initial flurry of interviews and hiring, there is typically a lull in the action, as a dministrators usually have about a month of summer vacation. Most administrators work a couple of weeks longer than the teachers and return to school about two weeks before them. Once administrators return from their summer break, another round of interviews begins for any openings that have not been filled.
Oftentimes administrators keep candidates that make a good impression in mind for future positions. The final two weeks before school starts is a hot time for getting a last-minute teaching job. Final enrollment numbers and finalized budgets come in, and there is often a scramble to round out a staff.
Tons of teachers have been hired in the week or two right before school starts, right up to the day before students arrive. In fact, many teachers report they got jobs days, or even weeks, after school began. When a last-minute job opens up administrators need to act fast, so being in the right place at the right time is crucial. Official student headcount occurs for most school districts in October.
This is the window of time that schools report official attendance numbers. When numbers have increased significantly since the beginning of the school year, whether there has been an influx of people moving into the area or students have transferred from other schools, new positions will open up.
