How to Hire Teachers Who Actually Fit Your School Culture

from School Leadership Reimagined

Most principals walk out of a hiring interview with a feeling. A 100% Principal walks out with evidence. In this episode, I'm breaking down the three-stage hiring system that changes who applies, who you interview, and who actually shows up in your building every day. What you'll learn: Why your job posting is filtering for the wrong people (and how to fix it in under 5 minutes) The one question that reveals what a candidate actually believes — versus what they know to say Why a sample lesson in the second interview is the least useful thing you can ask for — and what to do instead The real cost of a will-based misalignment hire and why it almost never shows up in year one Resources mentioned: How to Hire Your Next Master Teacher Playbook — https://mindsteps-inc.myshopify.com/products/how-to-hire-your-next-master-teacher-playbook The 100% Collective — https://buildershipuniversity.com/collective  Subscribe to The 100% Principal Newsletter — one thing every Friday you can take straight into Monday: 100percentprincipal.com
