Do you need to hire? Ideally, an amazing candidate shows up at the perfect time with the best qualifications, an equity mindset, with a background that can connect with each and every student in your district. Hiring takes time and thoughtful systems and practices to create and continuously attract and retain the best adults to support students.
Most hiring systems and practices don’t meet current needs to develop a diverse, vibrant, and skillful workforce to meet your district goals. If you don’t have district hiring goals, you need to create them! CLEE can support creating and enacting your hiring goals through Continuous Improvement. You will be supported at each step to gather data, identify needs, implement changes and evaluate impact to build and enact your hiring plans. Hiring is an opportunity to create a sustainable system that allows students to meet their potential through skilled and talented adults.
CLEE’s Continuous Improvement will help you answer:
-
How do your hiring goals match up to your district DEI goals?
-
How do you align job descriptions to
-
your hiring goals?
-
How can you build partnerships to recruit more diverse candidates?
-
How can you look beyond a cover letter and resume?
-
How can you really evaluate candidate skills and dispositions?
We can also focus improvement on staff retention:
-
How do you celebrate and inspire staff?
-
How do you continue to invest in staff as the most important resource in your district?
-
How are you being intentional with onboarding, mentoring, and induction?
