Becoming part of the Teach Newark candidate pool is the first step in becoming a teacher with Newark Public Schools, but school principals and hiring teams make all hiring recommendations about which teachers are the best fit for their schools. There are typically more teachers in the pool than there are positions, so it is important to submit a thoughtful application and put your best foot forward in interviews.

No. We use a central hiring process that does not allow candidates to apply directly to individual schools. Instead, we seek to build and cultivate a strong pool of talent from which principals and school hiring teams can recruit candidates for specific vacancies at their schools.

Yes! You can always apply and enter the Teach Newark candidate pool, but you can only apply for vacancies for which you have the required certification(s). If you obtain the necessary certification to be qualified for a current vacancy, contact the Talent Team and we can update your profile so you can search for those vacancies.
