Essentials for Principals: How to Interview, Hire, and Retain High Quality New Teachers

Item # 055

By Mary C. Clement, Joseph D'Amico & Nancy Protheroe

How to Interview, Hire, and Retain High-Quality New Teachers provides instruction and helpful hints that will make the hiring process less taxing for today's all-too-busy principals. The focus of the guide is an in-depth discussion of a unique interview strategy called behavior-based interviewing. The premise of this technique, which has been borrowed from the business world, is that past behavior is the best predictor of future performance. The guide also includes a recruitment and hiring schedule and month-by-month suggestions on steps you can take to enhance your effectiveness in recruiting and hiring high-quality teachers.
