Thoughts on class 10/11

Hiring and recruiting teachers is a daunting task. As we were doing the case studies in class, it was a little shocking to understand that this is a process that happens every year several times over for a principal. To try to find the most qualified teacher that fits best with your school is always going to be a gamble. Yes there are things you can look for to help you decide, but in the long run your decision will affect every staff member and student and parent that your hire comes in contact with. This person will also affect the principals job security. Lastly, to add to the pressure of the hiring decision, the principal and the school will only be as effective as those the principal decides to hire.
