Teacher Hiring and Development for
Active Student Engagement
TEACHER QUALITY
Increasing active student engagement starts with the
hiring and employee initiation processes. A strategy
that requires applicants to use the creativity and skills
desired in the interview process helps in the identification
of employees who will be successful with active student
engagement once hired. In addition, the professional
development provided before the teacher enters the
classroom can set the expectations and provide the
support for further success. This session looks at one
school that requires evidence of creativity with projectbased
learning in a video during the interview process,
and workshops that model what is expected in the
classroom once hired.
