Teach English Language Arts at Chicago Public Schools

Thank you for your interest in teaching English Language Arts with Chicago Public Schools! At all grade levels, we will work over the next five years to strengthen English language arts instruction to promote deeper thinking, more in-depth writing and research, and more challenging and relevant content. Students in kindergarten through 12th grade will read culturally-diverse contemporary texts that feature big ideas and rich content. Classrooms will be characterized by extensive discussion and collaboration. Students will also write extensively for a variety of purposes, research real-world issues, and propose solutions to problems that matter to them. To be literate in today's world, young people must also learn to evaluate media, interpret visual images, and decipher the social and political messages that surround us.

Submit your information here if you have a teaching certificate in Illinois or from another state. Then a member of our hiring team will reach out to you to learn more about your background and match you with schools that may be a good fit.
