Interviewing-Getting the right people on the bus!

I found the interviewing process to be helpful in many respects.  The importance of getting the right fit for your building to continue your mission/vision was brought to the forefront.  I can see how important the scanning of resumes are, how candidates present themselves with their attire, body language and linguistic skills, and what educational experiences candidates possess.  After going through this process, I understand how important getting the right person is in order to help fulfill your building's mission.  I also think about how candidates can sometimes come across as a good fit, and then when they are in your building, they don't become a successful part of your mission, it is imperative to be in the classroom and evaluate them!
     The other part of the today's presentation I found to be helpful was the information on remediation.  The process is a little different in Iowa than Illinois and the process of evaluation is different as well.  I thought this information helped me to understand the process and what happens when a teacher is in need of improvement or unsatisfactory.
