  4. “Sell” Your District -- Do quick introductions at your table. Imagine that the people at your table are future teachers in your school district. In Groups of 3, each of you takes 1 minute to “sell” your district to the 2 other people in your group. Now, provide feedback to your partners one at a time. What “sold” you? Select one person who will do the “sell” job to the whole group. We will select a few! “I can “sell” my district in one minute! Urban Schools Human Capital Academy April 2014

  10. Team Agreements • Put students first as we think about the work • Be fully present throughout the week (will be different with the technology) • Tell your truth • Leave your title at the door and think enterprise-wide • Help us to figure out how to solve -- and not just identify -- the problems that we face (addressing and influencing) • Keep the conversation confidential • Use the “Red Flag” rule if you need to • Give yourself the freedom to relax and be a learner Urban Schools Human Capital Academy April 2014

  18. Recruitment & Selection Creating Systems to Get the Best New Teachers

  19. The “Voices” of the Principal and HR What happens when they don’t agree? Do you remember our HR Partner Case Study? Urban Schools Human Capital Academy April 2014

  20. New Teacher Landscape Landscape Today Expected Landscape • Evidence that academic quality of new teacher candidates is improving, based on SAT scores.* • STEM remains the most critical shortage area for new teachers, despite more pay incentives. * • Oversupply of elementary teachers – excess ranges from 106% (Col.) to 930% (Ill.), although reports of drop in enrollment of elementary educators.** • Diversity – Minority teachers represent just 14.6 % of teaching force. There has been significant growth in recent years, but turnover rates are high.*** • USDOE projects 28% increase in new teachers hired between 2010 and 2021 (~384,000) • Common Core driving changes for teachers • However, blended learning and other tech progress may reduce the number of educators needed, particularly in shortage areas. *Goldhaber and Walch, Academic Capabilities of U.S. Teaching Force on the Rise, Education Next, 2014. ** Sawchuk, Education Week, January 2013. *** Center for American Progress, Increasing Teacher Diversity, November 2011.
