Teacher Job Fair

More than 1,700 teacher candidates attended the 2008 Teacher Job Fair held April 19 by the Wake County Public School System to recruit licensed teachers.

The candidates came from 42 different states with many from other school districts in NC. The job fair provides the opportunity for school principals and administrators to meet and interview persons who can be licensed to teach in NC in 2008-09. All WCPSS schools had representatives at the fair to meet and talk with teacher candidates.

Elementary school candidates met at Green Hope High and secondary school candidates met at Panther Creek High.

As a result, WCPSS signed 57 letters of intent and made another 10 early contract offers to persons who attended the fair and may be teaching in Wake County classrooms soon.

WCPSS administrators conducted more than 2,800 interviews. Comprehensive spreadsheets of the interview results at both the elementary and secondary fairs have been compiled and sent to principals. Principals will be able to use this information throughout this hiring season.
