Paul Bruno, assistant professor, and Haeryun Kim, Ph.D. student, Education Policy, Organization & Leadership have published a new paper on teacher hiring in the journal Leadership and Policy in Schools.
The research uses unique data from an unidentified school district in Central Illinois to study how teacher hiring committees work: how much they agree, what characteristics they look for in applicants, and how successful they are at hiring their preferred candidates. They also provided summary memos and results to our partner district to support their internal improvement efforts.
This research was conducted as part of the College of Education’s Public Engagement Faculty Fellows program.
