Subject: Re: advice for hiring teachers
I understand your point, however, there is a lot to be learned from seeing a
teacher's sample lesson. If they do something that is poorly organized,
boring and not something you feel will inspire and educate your students,
then you are not going to hire the person! You can also tell a lot fro first
impressions regarding how a person can handle classroom management issues.
You can see if a person "has it" or doesn't", you can see if a person MIGHT
"have" it, with proper guidance. I certainly would NOT want to invest a lot
of time and effort in a teacher who I can see will not fit in with our staff
or student population. All this is NOT something you can see just from an
interview. Of course if you KNOW the person, that can be a different story,
in which case may I WOULD hire them without a sample lesson if this were not
possible. Hiring a person is an investment - for the new teacher as much as
for the school and staff. If you only want the best for your students, you
owe it to them to check out the candidate as best and professionally as you
can. That, if at ALL possible, includes a sample lesson.
