Procedures for May 2001

This year the procedure will be different from the last years. There will be the delegation from the New York City Board of Education:

Ms. Caryl Cohen, Deputy Executive Director, in charge of the Bd of Ed's recruitment programs at The Center for Recruitment and Professional Development; Ms. Pat Kobetts, Deputy Superintendent of the Brooklyn High School Superintendency; Ms. Janice A. Medina, Deputy Superintendent of the Manhattan High School Superintendency, Ms. Charlene Siegelberg, Teacher Recruiter; Mr. Allen Siegel, Senior Teacher Recruiter, Mr. Samuel Cheung, Coordinator of the International Recruitment Program; Mr. Shep Brown, Teacher Recruiter; Ms. Cathe LeBlanc, Housing Consultant

Prof. Dr. Alfred S. Posamentier, Acting Dean of the School of Education of the City College of the City University of New York.


  • Since the delegation from New York will only be here for two and a half days we will interview in Vienna on May 3rd, 4th and partly May 5th.
  • They will interview you, ask you about your application and experience. They will more or less tell you right away, if you are accepted to be capable of teaching in NYC or not.
  • If you are rejected, you may try again next year. Maybe your English has improved until then or you have gained more self confidence.
  • If you are accepted, work begins there and then: we will start doing all the paperwork right away (for the Board of Education, for the City College, for the AAECA).
  • You are supposed to attend a workshop in Vienna, which will start June 15th or 22nd at 3 p.m. We will be finished in the early afternoon on Sunday, 17th or 24th. You will get the invitation and the outline for the workshop right after the interview. We'll start at 9 in the morning and finish with a "get together" at night.
  • You should be prepared to stay in Vienna for 2 nights. It is always easier to cancel a bed (room) than find one in the last minute.
  • If you want us to get your visa, please bring your passport to the workshop, 2 pictures and the paying receipt. Be prepared, that it will take a couple of weeks until we send your passport back (registered mail).
  • Don't forget the passport, visa form and paying receipt for your partner and/or child , if they are accompanying you to NYC
  • We will arrange a flight to NYC with AUA on August 3rd. The group should travel there together. Usually AUA grants us very good conditions with the weight of your baggage, the return flight may be within one year.
  • I will prepare for you the e-mail address list of all the teachers having been in NYC or still being there.
