摘要

Gordon Donaldson, Jr. said, “The best opportunity a principal has to improveteaching and learning in a school is when a teacher is hired.” This is the basic premisefrom which this study began, and it suggests, that in addition to the day-to-day teachingand learning that takes place in the classroom, the next most important activity of aschool district is the hiring of talented, skilled, knowledgeable, and effective teachers. Inthe next five years, educational leaders will have the opportunity unlike any other in thepast to have a dramatic impact on the educational process. Anecdotal information isbacked by the statistical data that there will be a major turnover of teachers and adramatic need for new teachers.This study examined the hiring practices of a sample of Indiana public schoolprincipals to determine the components that school administrators use and consider mostcritical in hiring effective teachers, and to compare the components to what researchindicates is effective practice. This examination identified the most commonly usedcomponents of the teacher hiring process across the state of Indiana, identified the mostcommonly involved stakeholders in the process, and identified what factors, skills, orcharacteristics principals utilize and look for most often when making teacher hiringdecisions.Respondents completed a survey with questions based on the related literature toquantify the desired target areas focusing on strategies used in the five steps of theteacher hiring process. The questions were centered on research-based components of aneffective hiring process, as well as questions focused on gaining insight from schoolprincipals into the steps they utilized and deemed important in the teacher hiring process.Principals were asked to report the extent to which they utilize each strategy as well asthe degree of importance they place on each strategy.The data were presented using descriptive statistics. The findings were discussedand compared to what the literature indicates is best practice in the teacher hiring process.Recommendations for further research were offered as well as recommendations toadministrators for practical strategies for creating a strategic and systemic process forrecruiting, hiring, and retaining high quality teachers.
