How do I get the Ashland-Greenwood Teacher Application Form?
The teacher application form is available from our district's Employment Opportunities web page. You can reach that web page by going to www.agps.org and clicking on Employment Opportunities. The application form can be typed directly on the computer form and then you can print and sign the application or save it and submit it by email. If for some reason you are unable to access the application form you can have an application mailed to you by calling (402) 944-2128 and requesting such a form. If you call after hours, you may leave your request on extension 400. Be sure to leave your full address including your zip code when requesting materials.
What is the deadline for submission of materials?
The district does not have a deadline for the submission of application materials. All positions remain open until the Board of Education takes action to approve the hiring of a candidate. Applicants are encouraged to get application materials to the school as soon as possible by email, mail, personal delivery or fax (402-944-3310). The preferred delivery method is to submit materials by email to Personnel@agps.org. Applications will be maintained for a period of 12 months.
How will I know that you have received all my applications materials?
You may call any of the school building offices at any time to determine if anything is missing from your applicant file. The Superintendent's Office may be reached at (402) 944-2128. The Elementary School can be reached at (402) 944-7083. The Middle and High Schools can be reached at (402) 944-2114.
You do not specify an opening in my teaching area - Can I still apply?
No. The district does not maintain applications for positions for which there are no openings. Please wait for an opening in your field of study prior to making application. Check our website frequently for listings of new openings.
How can I set up a personal interview?
Due to limited staff, the district can only personally interview a relatively small number of applicants. The interview team selects applicants to interview from the pool of applicants based on the submitted application materials. If you are selected you will be called by the team leader conducting the interview to establish a time and location for the interview.
What can I expect from the interview?
You will be interviewed by a team of administrator(s) and teachers. The interview consists of a building tour, formal interview, a written assignment and the teaching of a short classroom lesson. (A videotape, DVD or email submission of a digital video of your classroom teaching may be permitted as a substitute to the actual teaching requirement.) The team leader will call you to establish an interview time and location and will give you details on how to prepare for the interview.
