Recruiting Expert Teachers into High-Needs Schools: Leadership, Money, and Colleagues
Amrein-Beardsley, Audrey
Education Policy Analysis Archives, v20 n27 Sep 2012
Teacher quality experts are urging policymakers to identify and target expert teachers and entice them to teach in high-needs schools. To understand what this might take, expert teachers in Arizona were surveyed to understand their job-related preferences to inform future recruitment policies. Findings should inform others about the important factors educational policymakers might consider when thinking about recruiting expert teachers into high-needs schools. These factors include the quality of the principal; salary, bonuses, and benefits; and the degree to which expert teachers can work in multiple roles to enhance student learning. (Contains 2 footnotes, 9 tables, and 1 figure.)
