Book excerpt: To get the very best teachers for your school or district, you have to hire the best. Unfortunately, most educators have had very little--if any--training in how to screen potential employees and ensure that only the best available candidates are ultimately chosen. Here's a guide with all of the steps and strategies you need, including *Six principles of good teacher hiring. *Basics of creating a selection committee and ensuring a broad diversity of candidates. *Stages of the screening process. *Sample recruitment flyers, contracts, and interview questions. *Legal issues related to hiring. An innovative teacher selection framework provides for checks and balances at every turn and guarantees students and parents a voice in the process. The framework is flexible enough to use in school systems large or small.
