We are pleased to annouce the release of Teacher's Vault to the general public. It is a milestone in many ways, most importantly it being our first product since organizing the company. We hope you enjoy the service, and wish everyone the best of luck in their searches.
Teacher's Vault is an innovative online application service designed for educators seeking
employment and for school districts searching for highly qualified teachers to work in their
school community.
Teacher's Vault emerges from the need for teachers to express themselves to school districts
and sell themselves for an interview. It was also created so school districts can hire
teachers of the highest caliber to meet the needs of students today, and meeting
increasingly difficult test scores.
A unique feature of Teacher's Vault is the incorporation of an online portfolio feature that
allows educators to exhibit classroom skills, and for school districts to explore candidate
profiles before inviting them into an interview. This feature provides our users with a
commanding edge over the competition.
Joyce Lain Kennedy, author of the nationally syndicated column, Careers,
examines the importance of portfolio use in the job search. "Using a portfolio in the
search for work helps put the job seeker in tune with the new emphasis on portability.
Constructing a portfolio requires looking upon a career (or an entire life) as a collection
of experiences, which can be grouped and re-ordered to match the changing direction of one's
career journey."
Paper applications have become outdated and disengaging, while job portfolios have become a
means of displaying a reflection of one’s teaching experiences.
Teacher's Vault saves school districts time and money, and provides district users with a
simplified approach to the hiring process. Access to online teaching portfolios allow for a
deeper perception of prospective teachers, examples of their work, and their capabilities in
the classroom. Districts will reduce cluttered paper trails and costly advertising fees
while discovering technologically savvy candidates that are essential to incorporating into
the 21st century classroom.
Research from collegeboard.com, shows that when an employee quits a job, it usually costs
150 percent of their salary just to find a replacement. Teacher's Vault helps to reduce
that statistic for school districts by providing the capabilities for extensive candidate
review to ensure they meet the unique needs of a school.
The Teacher's Vault vision is to give hope, possibility, feedback, and confidence to
educators and school districts in a highly competitive job market. The service is committed
to providing our customers with an unequivocal edge over the competition for obtaining
professional educational positions and improving the efficiency of hiring highly qualified
educators and administrators in school districts throughout the United States.
