This handbook is designed to provide private school administrators with the tools, techniques, and perspectives to carry out the vital tasks of implementing, managing, and monitoring faculty recruitment, retention, and dismissal practices--for the benefit of the school's students, employees, parents, and community. Safe and Effective Faculty Recruitment, Retention, and Dismissal Practices details how to conduct these HR processes with an eye toward legal compliance as well as effectiveness in a private school setting. The focus is on hiring and retaining qualified, mission-appropriate teachers who are aligned with your school's culture and values, and who are able to consistently deliver excellence in and out of the classroom.
You will learn the Human Resources Life Cycle of Events for private-independent schools; federal, state, and local laws impacting hiring and firing practices; how to develop a mission-based hiring process; legal and illegal interview questions; corrective action and termination practices; the Characteristics of Professional Excellence; the importance of faculty culture; and much more.
Also included are samples of a faculty job description, faculty contractual agreement, model corrective action policy, model separation agreement and general release form, and many other forms commonly usd by Human Resources personnel in private schools.
