we are currently hiring part time teachers. Most of the teaching is done remotely, however every teacher must be fingerprinted in person by the DOE, so this will not work for people who cannot come to NYC to get fingerprinted. If in any of your circles of friends and colleagues you could post this, we’d be very grateful.
