Hire Better Teachers Now cover

While it is clear that better teachers get better results with students, school leaders often put themselves at a disadvantage by not hiring the best teachers available. In this groundbreaking book, three human resource experts show how even small adjustments can help school districts' leaders, principles, and other human resource professionals hire more efficiently and effectively.

This book illustrates methods for hiring the best available teachers based on existing research and provides advice on how to adapt these tools to fit the needs of individual schools and districts.

"A few years ago we changed our approach to hiring using the techniques in this book. It worked! Armed with a consistent set of questions and activities informed by the proven traits of our most effective teachers, our principals have meaningfully improved the quality of the teachers we hire" Yasmin Bhatia, CEO, Uplift Education.

“ Every superintendent, principal, and PTA president should read hire better teachers now. A critical step in improving our school systems is ensuring that we are hiring great teachers who fit the needs of the school. Hire Better Teachers Now identifies common mistakes schools make when reviewing job candidates. It clearly explains how to apply best practices to create a valid hiring process.” — Stuart D. Sidle, Associate Provost and Professor, Industrial-Organization Psychology, University of New Haven
