How to Apply

Information Sessions

As you consider applying to teachNOLA, we encourage you to attend one of our regularly-scheduled Information Sessions. Although not required for the application process, Information Sessions give candidates a chance to learn more about this rare opportunity to be an agent of educational reform.

Information Sessions are particularly useful for those who have general questions about the program or for those who may be unsure about applying. If you are interested in participating, we ask that you read this website carefully before attending to familiarize yourself with the basic components of the program.

The format of an Information Session includes a brief overview of the program, a question & answer period with a teachNOLA staff member, and when possible, presentations by current, experienced New Orleans teacher(s) or school administrator(s) and other experts on post-Katrina New Orleans. Information Sessions usually last for about one hour. Information Sessions will take place at different times and locations as well as via conference call throughout our recruitment season

teachNOLA also offers virtual Information Sessions on a regular basis. All available Information Sessions are publicized through your teachNOLA account under the "Events" tab (please note that you have to create an account to sign up for an Information Session).
