TeacherFinder: Your Gateway to Qualified Teacher Candidates
TeacherFinder is a web-based portal designed to help school districts find and support high-quality teacher candidates enrolled in the iteach alternative certification program. With just one login, you can recruit new talent and monitor the progress of educators already serving in your classrooms.
What Is TeacherFinder?
TeacherFinder was built to meet the hiring and monitoring needs of school districts. The portal provides on-demand access to two powerful features:
- Search and Recruit: Find iteach candidates who are eligible for hire.
- Monitor Current Teachers: Track the progress of educators currently employed in your district and in an active field experience with the iteach program.
These tools are available 24/7 and are supported by step-by-step video tutorials to guide you through each feature.
Key Features
Search and Recruit
Use this feature to discover iteach candidates actively enrolled in our certification program. These individuals may include prospective applicants as well as current district employees who have not yet begun field experience.
Within the Search and Recruit section, you can:
- Filter candidates by:
- Certification area
- Eligibility for hire
- Zip code and surrounding radius
- Certification area
- View profiles and contact candidates directly through the portal
- Include job postings in your outreach
- “Star” selected individuals for easier tracking in your Monitor Current Teachers dashboard
This function helps you connect with talent that is ready—or nearly ready—to enter the classroom.
Monitor Current Teachers
This feature allows you to view all iteach candidates who are:
- Hired by your district, and
- Actively completing a field experience with iteach
In addition to auto-populating with active teachers, this dashboard also includes any candidates you manually starred from the Search and Recruit page.
Features include:
- Visibility into coursework completion and certification progress
- Filters to sort candidates based on the completion of specific instructional coursework (e.g., modules 5000–5600)
- Access to each candidate’s iteach transcript
This tool is especially helpful for HR teams and campus leaders who want to ensure their educators are progressing toward full certification.
Built-In Support: Video Tutorials
When logged into the portal, you will find a “Tutorials” button on your dashboard. These videos walk you through the major features of TeacherFinder and offer guidance on how to make the most of the platform.
Getting Started
Once your account is created, you’ll have immediate access to all features. Whether you’re looking to recruit your next teacher or support someone already in your classroom, TeacherFinder makes the process easier and more transparent.
