Quick Start for Interview Team Training• Before the team comes:
– Invite team members and share their role-include a job alike peer– Have them read the position description & interview
• When the team assembles:– Consider an opening activity as a team– Emphasize the necessity to maintain confidentiality– Determine how who asks the questions– Share what makes for useful vs. non-memorable notes– Review examples of what is legal and not legal to ask
• When the interview series ends-- Remind the team of confidentiality-- Make sure to thank the team
![Page 18: Strategies to Recruit, Hire and Develop the Best Teachers for Your District](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022102323/58859b861a28abd2498b5b03/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Leveraging the Interview Research to Build the InterviewDetermine the interview items based on the job description
Review item distribution
Construct an interview protocol with:• Structure• Behavior-based items• Note-taking space• Anchored-rubric
Consider using a performance component to assess specific position responsibilities
![Page 19: Strategies to Recruit, Hire and Develop the Best Teachers for Your District](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022102323/58859b861a28abd2498b5b03/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Recruiting with Advertising
• Millennials are the new generation of teachers.
• When recruiting Millennials…• They want timeliness in applications to hiring.• They want to feel appreciated – wooed and
wowed.
![Page 20: Strategies to Recruit, Hire and Develop the Best Teachers for Your District](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022102323/58859b861a28abd2498b5b03/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Communicate
• Have very clear job advertisements. Stress how their work will be appreciated/valued.
• Communicate when applications arrive; when applications are complete.
• Give applicants a timeline for interviewing and for decision deadlines.
![Page 21: Strategies to Recruit, Hire and Develop the Best Teachers for Your District](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022102323/58859b861a28abd2498b5b03/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Recruitment Impacts Retention
• Those who stay have expectations met.
• Millennials seek a rationale for everything.They seek teams, belonging, strong reinforcement, and positive feedback. Stress how this is provided to recruit in ads and interviews.
![Page 22: Strategies to Recruit, Hire and Develop the Best Teachers for Your District](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022102323/58859b861a28abd2498b5b03/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
For Example
• Anytown School District provides a team-oriented atmosphere for teachers, with supportive supervision practices. Seeking teachers for ………
• Of course, you must also do those things!
![Page 23: Strategies to Recruit, Hire and Develop the Best Teachers for Your District](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022102323/58859b861a28abd2498b5b03/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Information-Rich Recruitment and Hiring
• The ad is filled with information. • Preliminary interviews give a clear and
accurate picture of the job.• Follow-up, on-site interviews are information
rich and let candidates know they will be valued in the system.
![Page 24: Strategies to Recruit, Hire and Develop the Best Teachers for Your District](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022102323/58859b861a28abd2498b5b03/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Interviews are a way to recruit
• Use behavior-based interviewing (BBI)
• Past behavior is the best predictor of future performance.
• Questions, with an evaluation tool, are written and used with each candidate.
![Page 25: Strategies to Recruit, Hire and Develop the Best Teachers for Your District](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022102323/58859b861a28abd2498b5b03/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Practical Interview Questions
• BBI-style interviews start with stems:• How have you, what has been your experience
with, tell us about, describe your experience with, or tell about a time when…
• Add the teaching topics:• Planning, standards, delivery of instruction,
management, assessment, differentiation
![Page 26: Strategies to Recruit, Hire and Develop the Best Teachers for Your District](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022102323/58859b861a28abd2498b5b03/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
For a Preliminary Interview• Tell about your best teaching experience.• Describe how you have planned lessons.• What have you done for positive classroom
management?• How have you met the needs of diverse
students?• Tell about how you have communicated with
students and families.
![Page 27: Strategies to Recruit, Hire and Develop the Best Teachers for Your District](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022102323/58859b861a28abd2498b5b03/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Questions that Recruit Candidates
• We have an hour a week for grade-level collaboration/planning. Tell us about your experience planning with others.
• We have seen a significant growth in test scores with program X. How have you prepared students for mandated testing?
![Page 28: Strategies to Recruit, Hire and Develop the Best Teachers for Your District](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022102323/58859b861a28abd2498b5b03/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Know the Answers You Seek
• Multiple interviews help determine teacher effectiveness.
• Each interviewer needs to know what to ask, and how to evaluate.
• Know what to listen for; determine that in advance.
![Page 29: Strategies to Recruit, Hire and Develop the Best Teachers for Your District](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022102323/58859b861a28abd2498b5b03/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
How to Listen
• PAR: Problem, Action, Result
• STAR: Situation, Task, Action, Result
• If the candidate has the experience, and can articulate it, they should be able to replicate it when hired.
![Page 30: Strategies to Recruit, Hire and Develop the Best Teachers for Your District](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022102323/58859b861a28abd2498b5b03/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Evaluation
• Use a numeric system – 1 to 5• Use a system of unacceptable, acceptable,
target
• Use the data you gather! Don’t revert back to a “gut feeling.”
![Page 31: Strategies to Recruit, Hire and Develop the Best Teachers for Your District](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022102323/58859b861a28abd2498b5b03/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Keys to Remember
• Interviewing is always a two-way street.
• Everyone who interviews must be trained to do so.
Each district and school needs a blueprint for how to hire effective teachers. Use your plan!
![Page 32: Strategies to Recruit, Hire and Develop the Best Teachers for Your District](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022102323/58859b861a28abd2498b5b03/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
