Put in a Teach with MCPS application last summer…

[Anonymous]

… and still have not heard anything back. Not even a standard rejection email. This isn’t for a specific position- it’s just to be placed in the pool. I currently work in DCPS but I live closer to MCPS schools, so I was looking to switch. Why would this process take so long when they have over 600 current teaching positions?

You should email and ask. It doesn’t take this long

Last summer? Yikes! Why didn't you reach out sooner?

1) Look at the original email you got and reach reach out to the staffer named at the bottom.

2) Apply to a school directly, sometimes if the principal likes you enough, they help with the pre screening process.

3) Did you create an account and upload all your information?

4) Are you in a shortage area of teaching?

I already had a job and was just considering it. It wasn’t that serious for me last summer. I’ve applied to MCPS before, had the phone interview, been in the hiring pool, but opted to go with DCPS.

If you let your open contract time out without letting mcps know you didn't want to teach with them before the deadline, you may have been blacklisted.

If that were the case, then they should just reject the OP right? Not responding at all is pretty unprofessional.

This is MCPS showing you who they are. Pay close attentions your experience is not unique.

Do you really want to work in a place that treats people like this OP?

I’d assume you fell through the cracks and follow up with a live person.

Clearly yes because OP already works for DCPS. LOL.

There’s nothing wrong with DCPS other than I’m over the commute.

When an open contract is awarded, they tell you when to communicate your intent to give it up etc... it's actually taking up a spot when there are internal transfers and new grads waiting.
