Hiring managers understand that every new hire has the potential to
impact employee relationships, morale and the work culture that
organizations work hard to cultivate. In school districts, new teacher
hires have the additional propensity to positively impact student
achievement. It’s important that school districts make the most
thoughtful and strategic decisions possible when hiring teachers to
ensure that new hires impact students and the district in a positive
way.
To make more confident and less subjective hiring decisions, many school
districts are incorporating more objective measures into the hiring
process. When district leaders are empowered to identify teacher candidates who
are not only predicted to be successful teachers but are also strong
culture-fits for their school, the students, faculty, and organization
as a whole have the potential to improve with each new hire.
