The American Classical League operates
the National Latin and Greek Teacher Placement Service in order to assist schools
seeking qualified teachers of Latin and/or Greek and to assist teachers of Latin
and/or Greek seeking employment. The
purpose of the Service is simply to facilitate contact between
applicants and employers. No evaluative judgment of any applicant will be
made to an employer, and no information on a school or program will be given to
an applicant other than that supplied by the employer.
This is a FREE
service.
No charge for schools listing a position.
Position openings for colleges and universities are found on the web
site of the American
Philological Association. At this site, you will also find a
summary of teaching certification requirements for the various states.
All job listings
may be viewed without restriction.
Schools should submit all
job listings using the online form included on this site. Please inform us of any changes or
when a position has been filled. Please check the job list a day
or so after you have submitted your position to verify that it has
been posted and that all information is correct. In this age of
Spam, we will not send you any unsolicited email. When you write
to let us know that your position has been filled, we would be
interested in learning whether and how our service has
helped.

This
site contains many links to assist schools and teachers in their
searches:
For each state,
one will find the name of a contact person who can answer by electronic mail
brief, general questions about teaching in that particular state. While
many of these individuals also serve as formal or informal clearinghouses for
their states, they do not represent the ACL Placement Service as agents or
contacts between schools and candidates. Their sole purpose here
is to give general information and direction via email to both candidates and
schools. Click on the name to send an email.
For each state,
a link is provided to the state department of education, where one may find
information on certification requirements for that state; one or more links are provided to the home page of the state classics
organization; links are provided to colleges and universities which train teachers of Latin
and/or Greek; and numbers link to positions currently on the Job List.
The
Director of the Placement Service is Peter Howard, Professor of
Classics at Troy University in Troy, Alabama. This site
resides on the academic server of Troy University.
