How does the placement process work?
Placement is the process through which teachers find their specific teaching positions in Memphis City Schools. This process generally includes interactions with both principals and district hiring personnel. It is the mission of Memphis Teaching Fellows to staff Fellows in high-need areas, and all candidates should be prepared to teach wherever they are most needed and can have the greatest impact on student achievement. Although candidates will have the opportunity to express their preferences, these assignments are driven primarily by school needs and by each Fellow’s eligibility. Fellows must be extremely flexible about their teaching positions.
