Beyond Credentials in Teacher Selection: A Validation Study of the Omaha Teacher Interview.

Mickler, Mary Louise; Solomon, Gloria L.

North Central Association Quarterly, v59 n3 p339-45 Win 1985

Addresses the relationship between teacher attitudes and teacher effectiveness. Discusses a local validation study of the Omaha Teacher Interview (OTI), a preemployment teacher selection device assessing attitudes and personality. Finds the relationship between OTI ratings and job performance positive but insufficient to justify basing selection decisions on OTI use. (LAL)
