Teacher Placement Files

The purpose:
A placement file is a compilation of your personal and professional data assembled to provide employers with necessary information on your background and qualifications. 

When to send:
Your file should be sent to the principle or superintendent that you are interviewing with. Your file will be sent at your request, therefore you must authorize its release. The file is not sent automatically when you first apply or inquire about a position.
