able to take the "Mini-CBEST" if they have not taken
the regular CBEST, or if they have not yet received the results
since
taking the regular CBEST. Out of country candidates must pass the
regular CBEST, if they are not successful in passing the District's
"Mini-CBEST," before they can be scheduled for an interview.
Out of country teacher applicants must also meet additional Los
Angeles Unified School District employment requirements to be considered
for employment and work sponsorship. These include, but are not
limited to, recent work in their field, strong letters of recommendation
covering the past three years of employment, fingerprint clearances,
tuberculosis testing and a complete physical examination, as well
as a personal qualities interview. Candidates who demonstrate superior
professional competence and exemplary personal qualifications may
be given the opportunity to teach / provide service to Los Angeles
Unified School District students.

Education applicants.
The Bureau of Citizenship and Immigration Services will be issuing
H1-B Visas, with an effective date of October 1, 2008. The District
will begin to request work authorization for successful candidates
beginning April 1, 2008 until the quota of visas is exhausted.
This information is provided for the convenience
of potential foreign teacher / support service provider applicants
who may be seeking employment. Please note that the Los Angeles
Unified School District is not responsible for any fees associated
with any organizations listed below. Additionally, out of country
candidates are advised that under no circumstances is the District
able to consider any candidates involved with a local or foreign
employment agency. District policy prohibits such candidates from
being considered for hiring and work sponsorship.
Foreign Transcript Evaluation
Individuals who have completed college or university
course work at an institution in a country other than the United
States must obtain a complete evaluation of foreign transcripts,
degrees* and other relevant documents prior to applying to the Los
Angeles Unified School District. A foreign transcript evaluation
is required any time the foreign course work is being used to determine
any credentialing requirement, even if a college or university in
the United States has accepted the foreign course work previously.
The foreign transcripts must be evaluated by one of the approved
organizations listed below in order to be accepted by the Commission.
These organizations are private enterprises who charge a fee for
their services. Individuals pursuing a foreign transcript evaluation
must follow the procedures outlined by the organization providing
the evaluation. In all instances, original, official documentation
will be required when requesting the evaluation.
*The bachelor's degree requirement for California
certification refers to the equivalent of a four-year (or more)
college-level program.
NOTE: The California Commission on Teacher Credentialing
requires that individuals obtain a detailed report of their foreign
course
work.
Individuals
who obtained a credential or certificate authorizing teaching in
a jurisdiction outside of the United States should also submit
a
copy of that document to the evaluating agency for inclusion in
the evaluation process.
