new teachers: Learners as well as the learned.
Posted on October 12, 2009 by gdahlby
I had a great time at the Teacherscape.com Leadership Institute. One of the quick think abouts that was shared was in hiring new teachers. The speaker reminded us that few if any new teachers are really great teachers their first year or two. There is too much to learn that even the best of intern experiences would be challenged to provide. His thought for hiring was to make sure you are hiring learners as well as the learned. You want teachers who are demonstrably good learners and will take advantage of all of the professional learning opportunities you as a principal, school and district provide. I liked this idea. 10/05/09- Charleston, SC
