Who We Want

Teaching is more than a job—it’s a calling.

Newark’s students deserve great teachers in every classroom. Are you one of them?

We’re looking for teachers with:

Dedication

We want teachers who understand how a great education can strengthen communities and prepare students to reach their goals in life. Our teachers believe in this city and its students—and will do whatever it takes to help them succeed.

Instructional expertise

We want teachers who know their subjects inside and out, who get their students excited about new academic challenges, and who never stop learning and improving.

Commitment to diversity and social justice

Our teachers need the self-awareness and emotional intelligence to foster a respectful, inclusive, and joyful classroom. We want teachers who recognize the value of students’ unique beliefs and experiences—and who help students see that value in themselves.

All applicants must be eligible for a license to teach in New Jersey, but there are many pathways to becoming a teacher in Newark Public Schools. Learn more about training and certification requirements.
