Your staff members are essential to the success of your school and organization.  You will have the opportunity to define your priorities when hiring a new staff member according to the latest research on the most effective skills needed for an amazing teacher and supportive member of your early learning program’s team.

This session discusses the results of a study based on the necessary skills for early childhood staff and introduces a 3-Step hiring process, based on these defined skills. This process will help to ensure you are interviewing the best possible match for your team and that you are assessing your present staff according to these skills.  All participants will develop their own interview questionnaire and staff assessment rubric according to their school’s priorities and needs.
