interview process
Administrators can make quick changes that can impact a school building success by the hiring of new staff. As part of my internship, I was part of the interviewing process for 3 teaching positions and 1 support staff position. This was a great experience during my internship. I actually didn't enjoy it as much as I thought I would. After sifting through tons and tons of resumes, I found around 6 candidates that I really liked. I actually felt guilty for disguarding some of the resumes and not giving some people an opportunity to get an interview. I had a hard time picking people to interview based solely on words on a paper. Those words are not a true indicator of who will be a great teacher or not. I just had to trust my judgement and go with that gut feeling on who to interview.
