This book helps you sharpen your ability to hire better teachers for your school, improve the ones who are already there, and keep your best and brightest on board.
It demonstrates that the quality of the people on your staff will ultimately determine
the quality of your school – and the success of your students.
Six Types of Teachers: Recruiting, Retaining and Mentoring the Best is organized around a framework to help you identify quality teachers. Among the six types of teachers revealed are the WOWs (the ones who walk on water), the Solids (dependable, hardworking contributors to the good of the school), the ones who are “not bad” but Replaceable ... & three other types of teachers. This book helps you evaluate your current staff members, hire new ones, and make better decisions about building for the future.
