Behavioral Group
They are basically just looking for anyone to teach. It feels like they are hiring to fill classrooms instead of looking for talented teachers. Some schools in the district are great, but the teacher talent is not the same everywhere. They are trying to fix this. Given the high need, I think if you apply, you'll get hired.
