Read POINT #3... WORD of WARNING 😱😱😱
1. EdJoin.org and Job Applications
EdJoin.org is a popular website for finding and applying for education-related jobs in California. It lists various teaching positions, including those in K-12 public schools.
2. Applying from Overseas
As an overseas teacher, you can apply for jobs on EdJoin.org, but there are important considerations:
Visa Status: Since you don’t yet have a visa sponsor and cannot legally work in the USA, applying for jobs may not be practical.
Transcript Evaluation: If you’re an international applicant, you’ll need to submit a transcript evaluation. This evaluation states how your foreign degree compares to a California degree. Approved agencies can provide this evaluation1.
Credential Requirements: California requires specific credentials for teaching positions. For example, a Single Subject Spanish Credential is necessary for Spanish teaching positions. Native speakers are desirable.
H1B Visa Sponsorship: Some school districts offer H1B visa sponsorship for qualified international trained teachers in high-need roles (e.g., Special Education, Physics, Mathematics, Spanish Bilingual, and Foreign Language Spanish). You should mention your request for H1B sponsorship in your application letter.
Response Time: Typically, you’ll hear back within seven days of applying. If there’s a delay, you can follow up with the district.
