Recruitment and Selection of Minority Populations into Teaching.

Zimpher, Nancy L.; Yessayan, Suzan

Metropolitan Education, n5 p57-71 Fall 1987

Teacher selection procedures should examine personal qualities such as adaptation, creativity, self-renewal, and moral orientation. Incentives for attracting minority populations to teaching are proposed. (BJV)
