Learn the teacher hiring process from start to finish and choose the right candidate
Administrators and teachers have most likely taken courses in child development, psychology, understanding emotional needs and motivating students. But let’s face it – there is little or no training in the teacher hiring process. Strategies to Improve Teacher Hiring changes that. This online seminar will help you sort through the stack of candidates and select the right person.
Strategies to Improve Teacher Hiring will help you decide what skills a successful teaching candidate should have, develop the right questions to ask, understand how to evaluate answers, find the right applicants and much more.
Many schools create a committee to select the next teacher and the committee members may all agree unanimously on a candidate. But does that make the candidate the right choice? Teachers, department chairs, administrative staff and board members all have a different idea of what a qualified teaching candidate is. Even when their ideas converge, the candidate still might not be a good fit for the students, the school, or the district.
Author, professor, speaker and former high school teacher Mary C. Clement has written several books on the hiring process and knows how to attract top-quality educators and how to decide who the best fit is. Her 60-minute seminar will leave you with more confidence in selecting the right candidate to teach in your district.
