Due to the current budget uncertainties, the District is temporarily suspending foreign recruitment. Please check this website periodically. Los Angeles Unified
School District Policy Regarding Sponsorship for Work Authorization
for Teacher Candidates / Support Service Providers from other Countries:
Interested fully licensed / certified Math, Science, Special Education Teachers and Speech Language Pathologists from other countries are invited to submit a Los Angeles Unified School District online application. Out of country candidates must have completed a preparation program, which includes a practicum / student teaching in their subject field, and be fully certified in their home country to be considered. Foreign applicants must also be eligible and qualify for a California Preliminary or Professional Clear credential / license in Math, Science or one of the Special Education subject fields. A detailed foreign transcript evaluation is required to make this determination, and must be submitted and reviewed prior to an out of country applicant being scheduled for an interview. Additionally, in order to secure an interview
with Los Angeles Unified School District, candidates from other
countries will need to have passed either the State of California's CBEST or the District's "Mini-CBEST." Foreign applicants are
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. Los Angeles Unified School District is currently interviewing credentialed, out of country Math, Science and Special Education applicants. The Bureau of Citizenship and Immigration Services will be issuing H1-B Visas, with an effective date of October 1, 2010. The District will begin to request work authorization for successful candidates beginning April 1, 2010 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 detailed, course-by-course, foreign transcript evaluation is required any time foreign course work is used to meet any credential requirement, even if the foreign course work has been accepted by a college or university in the United States. 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 seeking 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. Individuals who
obtained a credential or teaching certificate in a jurisdiction
outside of the United States should also submit a photocopy of that
document to the evaluating agency.
