INDEPENDENT
SCHOOL JOB FAIR
On Saturday, March 29, Southern Teachers Agency will sponsor an Independent
School Job Fair in Charlottesville, Virginia. Representatives from college-preparatory,
private/independent schools will interview Southern Teachers' candidates.
Independent schools have greater flexibility on teacher certification
than do public schools, and many employers welcome candidates with a
strong liberal arts background who have not gone through a teacher certification
program. Participation by teacher candidates is by invitation only.
Interested candidates should apply to Southern Teachers Agency. There
is no fee. Pre-screening candidates enables the Agency to invite candidates
who will find the Job Fair productive. The deadline for registration
is March 7.

CONSIDERING AMERICORPS?
Looking at a volunteer position with AmeriCorps? You should check with
your loan provider about loan deferment. For example, the agency that
manages Minnesota SELF loans does not provide forbearance for AmeriCorps
volunteers. Take this extra financial obligation into consideration,
as you may have to continue paying loans with either personal savings
or with your AmeriCorps living stipend.
