The Hawaii Department of Education has partnered with Teachers-Teachers.com to provide qualified special education, math, and science candidates. Whether you find us through our Web site, your school placement office, a job fair, or through a referral from a friend, there is never a fee for you. Beyond processing your paperwork and working directly with the Hawaii Department of Education personnel, the Teachers-Teachers.com Hawaii Recruitment Coordinator is available to answer questions about the hiring process and moving and living in Hawaii.

After reviewing your initial resume your recruitment coordinator will send you a list of required official documents to be submitted as soon as possible. These must be submitted by email to your recruitment coordinator at Teachers-Teachers.com. After your application and accompanying materials are approved, your recruiter will help you secure a screening interview. After a successful screening interview, your qualifications will be matched with schools needing teachers. Principals will conduct telephone interviews to determine the best school placement for you.

We will be screening candidates and will provide you with status updates on your Teachers-Teachers.com application.

A one-time relocation bonus ranging from $5,000 to $2,000 is available for qualified special education teachers depending on the teacher’s residential time zone (U.S. Mainland only). The special education teacher must remain employed for two full semesters to receive the full bonus.

The bonus will be paid incrementally, with the first payment of 50% made 6 to 8 weeks after reporting to work. 25% will be paid after the first semester and 25% will be paid after the second semester is completed. If a teacher resigns before the completion of the two semesters of employment, the bonus must be repaid in full.

A $3,000 retention bonus is available for licensed teacher that elect to be placed in the geographic hard-to-fill areas on the islands of Molokai, Lanai and Ka’u/Naalehu areas on the island of Hawaii. A teacher electing to be placed in these geographic hard-to-fill areas must secure their Hawaii teacher’s license before the last instructional day to qualify for this retention bonus. The retention bonus does not apply to Resource Teacher positions. All bonuses are taxable and subject to availability of funding.
