The hiring process is a facinating one to me. As much as we can prepare by knowing what we are looking for and asking all of the right questions, if the candidate is not honest, the system will not work- unless that is we check references everytime.
I am amazed by administrators who do not check references. The amount of time if takes to check them is so minimal compared to the amount of time, money, and energy necessary to fire someone. We know the information- if kids are our priority- and we know that personnel can make or break their educational experience-then we need to take our future responsibility seriously! There will be many factors that will try to steal our focus away from our top priorities so we need to encourage one another to act on what we know to be our primary commitment- the education of the students.
