I really thought that the critical incident exercise was very valuable and practical. I can not believe that the things that you can not imagine ever taking place, do take place on almost a daily basis just in our regional area. The examples used in class were all based on actual incidents which did happen. This goes along with my post on Saturday's class that you had better be prepared and keep a copy of your policy manual close by.
In terms of the hiring of personnel, I feel that as an administrator you should constantly be networking and be aware of good teachers and personnel that you might need to contact in case of an opening in your building. This list can come from recommendations of other administrators, or people that you are personally aware of. I think that recommendations are valuable, but I feel that your personal research into references is more valuable. I feel that by contacting those references and talking with them that you can get a much better feel for the quality of the candidate.
