> the application process

To apply for a certified staff position or as a substitute in any Kane County public school district, each of the following 3 parts must be completed:

  1. The online application form
  2. The Teacher Style Profile Builder
  3. Upload supplementary materials (i.e., résumé, transcript(s), references, teaching certificate & credentials)

Once all 3 steps are completed, the application will become available to school administrators in each of the nine KCHRC member districts.  Be sure to see the details below for more information.

The online application form consists of demographic information, educational background, work experience and three short-answer questions.

Keep in mind that this part is rarely completed in a single session; particularly when it comes to crafting the short-answer questions. It is important that the online application form contain current information: an accurate permanent address, phone number, and email address are essential.  Should this or any other information change, it may be updated at any time.

> part 2: teacher style profile builder

After completion of part 1, applicants will receive a link to the Teacher StyleProfile Builder, a set of 32 questions relating to common classroom situations as well as situations regarding teaching and learning. Responses to the questions provide Consortium districts with additional information about the applicant's strengths as an educator. At the Profile Builder site, you will receive specific directions and an orientation.

The Profile Builder will take approximately 15 minutes to complete. While it may be started when convenient, the Teacher StyleProfile Builder must be completed in a single session. Be sure to allocate sufficient time and eliminate potential distractions before beginning the Profile Builder.


> part 3: supplementary materials

To complete part 3, the following documents must be uploaded:

Once you have uploaded your documents, all documents can be viewed in any of the consortium's member districts.


> what else do I need to do?

After finishing all 3 parts, the application process is complete. There is no need to send additional materials or contact a school or district which has posted a vacancy. If background and skills match the needs of a school district, applicants may be contacted. An applicant will not be contacted if, either there are no open positions, another candidate has been selected for an open position, or a match has not yet been identified.

Applications will remain active for the remainder of the recruiting year. When an application becomes inactive, applicants will be notified via e-mail and have the option to reactivate.
