Office of Personnel
Instructions For
Teacher Applicants
We are pleased to enclose an employment application. Providing
quality education for the students of Baltimore County is the most
important mission of the Department of Personnel. This can only
be accomplished by identifying and hiring outstanding teacher candidates.
To help us in this effort, we need the following documents :
- Photocopies of transcripts of all college coursework
- Photocopies of current teaching certificates, if any
- Photocopies of PRAXIS scores or other state's certification
test scores
- References
References: References
should be obtained from those who have firsthand knowledge of your
scholarship, teaching ability, and other qualifications . If you
are a beginning teacher, your college supervisor and cooperating
teacher(s) must be included. Experienced teachers must include their
most recent principals. It is your responsibility to furnish the
appropriate individuals with the enclosed envelopes and reference
forms. Be sure to print your name, social security number, and the
type of teaching position you are seeking (subject area, elementary
classroom, early childhood, etc.) at the top of each yellow reference
form before forwarding to your reference . You may want to consider
placing stamps on the envelopes . It is also important to print/type
your subject area on the outside of the return envelope(s) you are
providing for your references. Please instruct the individuals to
mail the completed forms directly to our office in the envelopes
provided.
To be considered for employment with Baltimore County Public Schools,
you must be certified or eligible for certification by the Maryland
State Department of Education . One of Maryland's requirements for
applicants who have taught less than two years and have not held
a valid certificate, is the need to present qualifying scores for
appropriate national tests. If you have any questions regarding
certification requirements in Maryland, contact:
The Maryland State Department of Education
200 West Baltimore Street
Baltimore, Maryland 21201
(410) 767-0412
Please submit this application at your earliest convenience . Applying
early can be to your advantage. The application does not need to
be typed. Placement files are helpful but will not serve in lieu
of the enclosed yellow reference forms. Please encourage your references
to return the yellow forms as soon as possible. Your transcripts
and PRAXIS scores should be sent to us as they become available
to you, but please do not let the availability of those items deter
you from sending your application promptly. Thank you for your interest
in the Baltimore County Public Schools .
