Palm Springs Unified School District Hosts Teacher Job Fair

Palm Springs Unified School District is gearing up for its highly anticipated annual teacher job fair, taking place this Saturday from 9 a.m. to noon at the District Service Center. This event presents a fantastic opportunity for educators looking for a meaningful career in the district, with many positions available across various specialties. The fair is particularly notable for offering candidates the chance to receive contracts on the spot, with some attendees even landing their dream jobs immediately, as happened with Kathleen Crawford last year.

Crawford, who traveled from Kentucky to attend the fair, shared her positive experience, noting the event's smooth organization and welcoming atmosphere. She was among the few candidates who received an offer on the spot, an experience she described as thrilling and emotional. For this year’s fair, the district is offering significant incentives: $12,000 for special education teachers, speech-language pathologists, and nurses, and $9,000 for science and math teachers.

As part of the fair, candidates are encouraged to come prepared with a resume, three current letters of recommendation, and a letter of introduction. Expect interviews to be conducted on-site, so being prepared is key to making a great impression. Palm Springs Unified is eager to find educators who are passionate about teaching and making a difference in the lives of students. Be sure to register ahead of time on the district's website to secure your spot.
