2008 KEEB Statistics To Date

KEEB continues to experience excellent growth since the new year began. 80% of districts in the state now have an account and approximately 200 jobs have been filled to-date. There are currently 770 jobs open today with a projected 3600 applications submitted this month. As you can see from the graph below there has continued to be a rise in the number of unique applications submitted for these positions.

We also are experiencing a continued increase in traffic with 79,000 visitors last month and currently projecting 90,000 visitors this month. We will continue to update this data as positions are filled and new jobs are added.

What Can Educators Do To Help Recruit Other Educators to their District?

This week I will be sharing the presentation below with the Kansas Exemplary Educator Network (KEEN) at their annual meeting in Topeka. This blog and our efforts with KEEB have focused primarily on helping district administrators better recruit teachers to their districts. While this is critical, teachers in those districts can play a crucial role in recruiting, as well. The presentation focuses on what classroom teachers can do to help recruit teachers to their district with technology and ideas to consider in the retention of teachers once they are employed there.

New Design to the KEEB Employer Account Page

We continue to modify and improve the Kansas Education Employment Board (KEEB) to meet both the needs of both the job seekers and employers. Based on feedback from a number of districts we have modified the employer account page slightly to increase it's usability. Below is a screenshot of the new My Account page for Employers.

New Administrative Design in KEEB

When you login as an employer, you will now see a list of positions you have stored in KEEB under the Current Job Postings heading. The white column in your list of jobs contains information on how many applications have been received. To view those applications you just click on the (#) applied link.

You will also notice periodic messages in red font notifying you of changes and suggestions for using KEEB. In addition, by clicking on the RSS: Statewide Kansas Applicants you can view the latest applications added to KEEB by job seekers. These are not unique to your district or school, but are another tool you can use to locate potential candidates. Feel free to contact us if you have any questions about the new revisions.

New Featured Employer on Homepage

New Featured Employer Tool

The Kansas Education Employment Board is now highlighting schools and districts with employer profiles on the homepage. KEEB randomly selects employers with completed profiles and shares information from their employer description, as well as, links to their complete profile and current job openings.

To ensure that your district is included in this new feature include information about your district and community in your employer description. If you would like to edit your employer description, login to www.kansasteachingjobs.com and click on Edit Profile.
