Partnership for Los Angeles Schools

2026-27 Teacher Application: All Grade Levels

Los Angeles, CA - Full Time


ABOUT US

Founded in 2007, the Partnership for Los Angeles Schools is a nonprofit serving 12,200 students across 20 LAUSD schools. As one of the nation’s largest in-district public school transformation organizations, we operate within LAUSD. We are not a charter network, and our schools and teachers are fully part of LAUSD. Partnership teachers receive the same competitive salary, benefits, and UTLA membership as all LAUSD educators, plus additional earning opportunities. 

As a Partnership teacher, you will inspire students, collaborate with peers across our network, and grow professionally. We understand that effective teaching requires support, and we offer the following:
  • Professional development in Literacy, Math, and Classroom Culture, extending beyond LAUSD’s standard offerings.
  • Meaningful classroom observations, feedback, and mentorship from teacher leaders and school leaders.
  • Intentional and sustained focus on advancing outcomes for Black and Multilingual Learners (MLs) or Emerging Bilinguals (EBs) students.
  • Support family engagement efforts, including strengthening communication and increasing family involvement.

APPLICATION STEPS

Step 1: Online Application

Submit your application online, including a resume. A cover letter is not required.

Note: You only need to submit one application to be considered for all available teaching positions. Please do not submit a new application for each school posting. We will use your one application submission to refer you to schools with vacancies that match your experience and preferences. 

Step 2: Wedge Video Interview or Phone Screen

Applicants will receive an email to interview using Wedge and record a solo video interview. In some cases, you may be invited for a phone screen with a member of our Talent Team instead. 

Step 3: School Site Interview & Demo Lesson

Successful candidates will be invited to a school-site interview, including a short demo lesson. The process may vary by school but typically involves meeting school leaders and delivering a sample lesson.

Step 4: Offer & Onboarding

Applicants will be notified directly by the school following their interview and demo lesson. If selected, the school will submit an Intent to Hire form to LAUSD's HR team, formally requesting your hire.
