“Principals and administrators will conduct on-site screening interviews at the Teacher Fair and share information about the benefits of working at charter schools,” said ECCS Director Dr. Rose Peterson. “Teachers and aspiring teachers should bring multiple copies of their resume, teaching certificate, references and any other relevant information for immediate consideration.”

The fair is sponsored by the ECCS with support from the Louisiana Association of Public Charter Schools (LAPCS), School Leadership Center (SLC) of Greater New Orleans, and the Pro Bono Publico Foundation.
