Maugans Alumni Center, Blackwell Ballroom
Join school district representatives from around Virginia and beyond at our Teacher Recruitment Day to learn more about their opportunities, openings, and application process. This year, we will continue to offer on-site interviews with school divisions. From 1:00-4:00 pm, students have the opportunity to ask questions, learn about opportunities, and get to know the details of different districts around the state. Students will be able to schedule interviews for later in the day, and will return between 4:15-5:45 pm to hold your interview directly with the district! Come prepared with questions and ideas, and bring your resume, lesson plan samples, and any other portfolio items you would like to showcase.
