    SUBJECT: EDUCATOR RECRUITMENT SERVICE FOR FLORIDA K-12 SCHOOL
    DISTRICTS
     
     
    In a continuing effort to recruit qualified education personnel for all Florida public schools,
    effective May 1, 2006, the Florida Department of Education contracted with the web-based
    recruitment service Teachers-Teachers.com. This service is designed to help those charged with
    recruiting personnel meet the challenges of placing the most qualified education professionals in
    Florida schools.
     
    Florida school district recruiters use this service to post their available positions and search the
    database of registered education personnel. The service is free to teachers, administrators,
    speech pathologists and other related service personnel searching for a job in education.
    Registering with the service enables candidates to:
     
    •
     
    Receive email notifications of job openings and announcements
    regarding job fairs, incentive programs, mentoring programs, etc.
    •
     
    Electronically submit customized cover letters and a universal online
    application to prospective employers
    •
     
    View the websites of school districts with job openings
    •
     
    Track their job search online
     
    To learn more about the service, please visit www.teachers-teachers.com/florida.
