Rethinking the Hiring Practices of a Small Suburban Chicago School District
Abstract
dc:description.abstract<p>This change plan was developed from the program evaluation centered on the teacher hiring processes in District 1, a small school district in north suburban Chicago. Following extensive interviews with those who do the hiring in District 1 and a review of relevant literature, recommendations were made to improve an already successful hiring process. This plan was developed around Tony Wagner’s Four C’s framework. The District 1 hiring process was analyzed for its context, culture, competencies, and conditions both in its current state and as it will be when the outlined changes are implemented. Strategies and actions for change were also discussed. This paper falls less under the heading of “if it ain’t broke don’t fix it,” and more under the idea that change is important even for high performing organizations.</p>
