A new online job posting system will help ensure Iowa students have the best teachers in their classrooms.
This year’s education reform legislation called on the Department of Education and the Board of Educational Examiners to launch a “Teach Iowa” website with all job openings in Iowa’s public schools, charter schools, Area Education Agencies, the Department of Education and the Board of Educational Examiners. Private schools may advertise their vacancies on the site as well.
The system connects employees with job openings and makes hiring and applying for jobs easy through an online process. Best of all, it is completely free to applicants and employers. While Teach Iowa centralizes the search for employers and employees, all hiring decisions remain local.
A recent glance at the Teach Iowa site showed 797 job openings across the state for all types of positions— teachers, administrators, study hall associates, food service workers, bus drivers and more. Check it out at www.teachiowa.gov.
