The purpose of the Teacher Candidate Recruiting Strategy Implementation Tool is to assist teacher residency and other teacher preparation programs with developing practices for effectively recruiting candidates to meet their recruiting goals. The tool can also help programs better target candidates to meet the needs of their partner school districts, particularly with increasing the diversity of programs' candidates. Using the tool, users can assess how well their recruiting strategies and practices are aligned with research-based practices, how effectively their recruiting practices have been implemented, and explore ways to improve the effectiveness of their recruiting practices. This tool should be used as a companion to the Region 5 Comprehensive Center's resource "Improving the Pipeline: Strategies for Recruiting Teacher Residency Candidates." This report is intended to provide a review of the research and best practices related to recruiting candidates into the teaching profession. While the focus of the report is on recruitment into the state's teacher residency program, the strategies and practices presented apply to recruitment into any type of teacher preparation program. Many of these approaches have also been shown to be effective for attracting more diverse candidates into teaching.
