How to recruit the best teachers?



Somewhere in the past the glory that was attached to teaching was lost. With the society giving more value to material wealth, students shifted away from school teaching as a profession. In these circumstances finding meritorious teachers, talented and knowledgeable in their field, is a challenge. The few points given below will be useful while recruiting teachers for a new school.

      1.  Incentives attract talented teachers:
      If your school has just come into being and you are looking for teachers, you will have a lot of problems finding good and experienced teachers to accept your offer. Teachers do not accept jobs in areas that are not fully developed and at schools that do not come with a brand. Since the school is new you may offer low salaries. Only financial incentives will be of help. If the pay you offer is not significantly higher than what other schools are offering you may consider to include the performance bonus in package or to offer a one-time signing bonus.

      2.  Implementing peer mentoring among teachers:
New are unable to perform well in a struggling school. To directly address these concerns you may implement strong mentoring groups by pairing new teachers with seasoned teachers who can provide guidance and support.


      3. Pick candidates who are motivated and self-driven:
      Some teachers want to face the challenges of working at a struggling or a new school. They consider that this will test their capabilities as leaders and managers. In such a school the teacher feels truly needed. Admitting that your school is need of hard working, committed and dedicated teachers may just turn the tables in your favor.

      4.  Best teachers may be living in your neighborhood:
Teachers, usually, do not want to leave their own cities and neighborhoods. The students and the parents know them and their worth as teachers. So, one of the best teachers of your school may be in your locality. So, advertising for teachers in your neighborhood may be fruitful.

      5. Infuse positivity in your school:
      Monetary incentives may attract teachers but they may work for long if the schools are dysfunctional. Schools must organize workshops and training's to encourage teacher creativity and build a positive, collaborative work environment. Take steps to make your school attractive to potential employees.

     6. Do keep your current employees happy:
     This is important as the present employees talk about the school work atmosphere outside the school. Their positive review will attract other teachers to your school. In this way, teacher attrition rate will be low, which will give a strong foundation to the school.

Though the above points may prove as a candle to dispel the darkness the process of hiring teachers and retaining them is a challenge. Therefore, to resolve hiring issues and make an effective selection, Educare India team makes the best efforts that the right person for the right place is selected.
