Transforming Education with Talent Management
Brandt, Julie
School Business Affairs, v77 n1 p30-31 Jan 2011
Attracting, developing, and retaining employees, ensuring a pipeline of qualified people, and building a culture of engagement and productivity are important to the success of any organization. It is called "talent management." With the right technology support, talent management's real value is that it allows organizations to identify high performers and future leaders, track and evaluate employee performance, and identify and address skill gaps with targeted training and development--all through a centralized system. Talent management's best practices, such as learning and development, performance management, and succession planning, have relevance and applicability across all sectors, including education. Talent management can be a key tool for promoting high performance among teachers and administrators. This article discusses Teach For America as one example of how learning and talent management can have a positive impact on K-12 education.
