From Process Bottlenecks to Better Hires: Modern Strategies for Lean K-12 HR Teams

Jescee Spencer, Recruitment Specialist at Perry Township Schools, Mark Davis, Talent Acquisition Coordinator at Waukee Community School District, Josh Tolan, CEO at Spark Hire, Gary Schwake, CRO at Spark Hire

School districts are under more pressure than ever to hire quickly yet still provide a thoughtful, human experience to every candidate. Between limited staffing, high applicant volumes, and increasing expectations from principals and hiring committees, HR teams are being asked to operate at an impossible speed.

In this webinar, talent acquisition experts from Spark Hire, Perry Township Schools, and Waukee Community School District will discuss how to overcome early-stage bottlenecks, establish consistency across schools, and maintain a people-first hiring experience, even when time and resources are limited.

This webinar is sponsored by SparkHire and is FREE for members of AASPA and FREE for nonmembers.

Qualifies for 1 hour of continued education credit through SHRM, HRCI & pHCLE.

Solving the Special Education Teacher Shortage: A Sustainable Approach to Growing Your Own Educators

Tuesday, January 27 | 11:00am - 12:00pm CST

Dr. Wendy Adams, Ed.D, Assistant Superintendent of Human Resources, Alton Community Unit School District #11, Dr. Elizabeth Robison, Superintendent of Schools, Pocono Mountain School District and Dr. Mark Wade, Assistant Superintendent for Special Education, Pocono Mountain School District

Moderated by Jason Lange, President and Co-founder of BloomBoard

Special education vacancies continue to rise, pushing school districts to find sustainable, long-term staffing solutions. Alton Community Unit School District #11 (IL) and Pocono Mountain School District (PA) are demonstrating what’s possible when districts invest in developing their own staff.

Through an on-the-job teacher preparation program, paraprofessionals and other school employees can earn degrees and become licensed special education teachers—without leaving their current roles.

Join our panel of district leaders as they share how this approach is reshaping recruitment, improving retention, and expanding equity by turning local talent into certified educators who already understand the students and communities they serve.

This webinar is sponsored by BloomBoard and is FREE for members of AASPA and FREE for nonmembers.
