Issues in the Hiring of Two New Teachers

In mathematics department, the problems of two new teachers directly threaten students' learning and motivation. Therefore, we must act promptly. At first glance, these problems seem natural, given that new teachers take a long time to adapt to new cultures and systems. But Kevin's case in particular is the result of carelessness in the recruitment process. As the first intervention in the case of Kevin, I talked to the assistant principal and the principal that his age does not have enough energy to teach a ninth grade, and in the coming years this level of importance I remembered.

In order to better understand the conditions and experience of hiring teachers pre-school, previous research was reviewed for teacher education supply, recruitment process and gender problem at teacher education association. Because of these problems, the Teacher Training Division is facing a tough fight to expand the position of teachers and to replace those who retired or changed jobs to other institutions. Wolf-Wendel, Baker, Twombly, Tollefson and Mahlios (2006) examined the data from recent recipients of doctoral courses and tried to ascertain whether they are in higher education, K-12, or a private company I will. In the field of basic and mathematical education, 55% of doctoral students in 2000 wanted to become teachers, but in foreign languages ​​and early childhood education, only 32% expressed similar intentions "Wolf-Wendel et al., 2006, page 274)

On the other hand, teachers are short because wages are low compared to other occupations. The US Bureau of Labor Statistics stated that there are 2 million "new" teachers in this country over 10 years. 40% of the teacher resigned in the first three years and the teacher who was in the first 5 years left in the first 5 years (Teaching Times, 2001; Coeymann, Johnson, Teicher & Wiltenburg, 2001). On the other hand, many unqualified and influential interviews and procedures for screening will reject many qualified and valuable candidates.

Recruiting, hiring and training new teachers in this area is time consuming and expensive. Indeed, the Learning Policy Association estimates that it is spending more than $ 20,000 for a teacher in an urban area. Increasing the ROI for these teachers by extending the term of 38 teacher services 39. Some teachers who leave this profession will increase the retention rate of teachers and improve the student's grades. These solutions can also be paid for themselves by releasing money from the new recruitment requisition.
