ATP Job Fair Dates and Locations
for 2020 - UPDATED
Sadly, the ATP Anchorage Job Fair, which was to be held on
Friday, March 13, and Saturday, March 14, 2019 in Anchorage,
was cancelled shortly after the event started by the University of Alaska
administration due to recommendations on best safe event
practices during the current COVID-19 virus pandemic.
Our sincere apologies to both districts and candidates who
had arranged their schedules and made plans to attend this
event. ATP had no advance notice of the cancellation, and no
choice but to terminate the event.
ATP had planned to host three additional Lower 48 Job Fairs
in 2020, but two of these (Minneapolis & Portland) have also been cancelled. The ATP
Houston event is still on, and we will update this page
should that situation change.
- Minneapolis / Bloomington, Minnesota - Thursday,
April 2, 2020 - COVID-19
Cancellation
- Portland, Oregon - Wednesday, April 8, 2020 -
COVID-19 Cancellation
- Houston, Texas - Thursday, June 18, 2020
Email Toni if
you have questions or concerns, or need clarification on
either cancelled events, or the upcoming ATP Houston Job
Fair.
For full details on the 2020 Job Fairs, including updated
candidate registration forms, please see the ATP
Job
Fair page.
Student Teaching in Alaska? -
The Experience of a Lifetime!
If you are finishing your pre-service teacher preparation or
certification program, but still have to complete your
internship, practice teaching or student teaching, you may
want to consider doing so in Alaska.
You can use the ATP website to learn about the
very
different regions of Alaska, and about
living
and
working
here. Alaska rural school districts are especially
interested in hosting student teachers in their schools, and
are willing to work with your university to collaborate on
innovate supervision arrangements. In fact, many
districts offer housing assistance, travel arrangements from
your location to their communities, and sometimes even a small
cost of living stipend.
Please contact Toni McFadden at
uaf-atp@alaska.edu with
any questions regarding Alaska student teaching opportunities,
or post them to the
ATP Forum.
