Character 10-23-10

When I think about the "rock star" teachers in my building, they each possess good character.  They don't create or contribute to drama.  They are serious about learning and are well-grounded individuals.  They work toward improving ways of doing business in our building.  They also seek help and admit to not "having all the answers".  They collaborate with ALL other staff members and are not ones to complain about things they don't understand like decisions from Central Office.  How do you identify these qualities in an interview?  I have been on many interview committees and been part of bad and good hires.  The last committee I was part of hired what turned out to be a difficult person.  She does not do the things she said she did in her interview.  She refuses to work with certain populations of students.  She tries to give orders to people who are in higher positions than she.  I thought during her interview that she was too good to be true.  It turned out to be true.  I feel sorry for that principal and all the energy he has had to put into her existence.
