Finding a Teaching Job




ARTC teachers must be hired by a Delaware public or charter secondary school BEFORE enrolling in ARTC.

There is no single listing of all teaching positions open in the state, but there are several ways to look for a teaching position:

  • Watch the newspaper and apply for job openings in your subject area.
  • Check the websites of districts in your area for job listings.
  • Contact the personnel offices of school districts in your area and request a job application (they may or may not want to have applications from uncertified teachers on file).
  • Visit Teach Delaware to check job openings and post an on-line application to be seen by all Delaware schools.
  • Use the request form available at this site to provide the ARTC office with contact information. If you indicate that the information you provide can be shared with schools, we will add you to our database of potential candidates to share with schools and districts, and e-mail your contact information to personnel offices.
  • Check our homepage for upcoming teacher job fairs.

Other strategies?

  • If you have a particular school in mind, make an appointment to introduce yourself to the vice principal or department chair in your subject area.
  • If you are able, sign on as a sub! There is a very high need for substitute teachers and this can be an excellent way to develop classroom skills and become known to school personnel.
