Spring 2025 Educator Expo News!

Typical Alaskan Moose

Now that the 2024-25 school year is underway, calendar year approaches, the ATP staffer have begun to plan for next spring's recruiting efforts.  But that doesn't mean that hiring done for this year!

As of September 11, there are over 306 open education positions in ATP's Rural and Road System Alaska districts. Over 30 new jobs have been posted since September 1. It's important to check daily if you are still seeking a teaching or school administration job for the 2024-25 school year.

Open jobs for over 54 Alaska school districts and other education-related employers are updated daily on our statewide Applitrack Job Bank system. Registration and all services for job candidates are, also as always, 100% free!

ATP has announced that the annual Spring Educator Expo job fair will be held at the Hotel Captain Cook in Anchorage, Alaska once again on Saturday, April 12, 2025. Registration is open now for those who can physically attend in Anchorage.

In addition, ATP has partnered with the Alaska Department of Education to offer school district HR and recruiting staff development opportunities at the Teacher Recruitment & Retention Convening (TRRC) at the Captain Cook on April 11-12, which begins the day before the Educator Expo. Session topics and times will be announced soon to Alaska districts.

Ever Thought About Substitute Teaching in Alaska? - Adventure Calls!

If you are a retired teacher, between teaching jobs, or just finishing your teacher certification program, and are flexible with your plans, Alaska now keeps a list of substitute teachers available on short notice for the 2022-23 school year and beyond.  Unexpected openings happen every school year due to teacher illnesses, pregnancies, family emergencies and so on.  ATP tries to help by keeping a ready list of substitutes separate from the normal Applitrack job bank.

Some positions are Short-term Substitute (STS) positions for just a few weeks, while others are Long-term Substitute (LTS) positions that might be a month or a semester in length. This is not only a great way to keep your teaching skills sharp, or practice newly acquired skills, but it's also a great way to see some of the most unique villages left in North America while getting paid, and making yourself known to district leadership staff. Substitutes often earn the support of a thankful school district, and get called back regularly for temporary duty.

If you are interested in being considered, this form gets you set up and "on the list"!  Questions? Contact Toni at tlmcfadden@alaska.edu.

ATP Substitute List Registration - Flexible? This supplements your ATP Applitrack File!
https://www.alaskateacher.org/atp-substitute-form.html

Don't forget to make sure your ATP Applitrack is active and updated on our site, as ATP wants districts to be able to quickly reference your resume and supporting documentation.  Districts will contact Substitute List candidates directly.

Student Teaching in Alaska? - The Experience of a Lifetime!

If you are finishing your pre-service teacher preparation or certification program, but still have to complete your internship, practice teaching or student teaching, you may want to consider doing so in Alaska.  

You can use the ATP website to learn about the very different regions of Alaska, and about living and working here.  Alaska rural school districts are especially interested in hosting student teachers in their schools, and are willing to work with your university to collaborate on innovate supervision arrangements.  In fact, many districts offer housing assistance, travel arrangements from your location to their communities, and sometimes even a small cost of living stipend.
