I posted it under decision making because it made me wonder. It is summer and the hiring process is in full swing. When interviewing and having candidates of different races apply do leaders put enough thought and attention into hiring individuals that meet the ethnic breakdown of their schools? My current school has a high Hispanic population but only 2 Hispanic teachers. Would hiring more help with the problems we are currently facing with attendance, drop out rates, and test scores? ]]> 2018-06-15 22:47:12 UTC https://padlet.com/khampton21/c4gu91vmzczl/wish/267417931 khampton21 https://padlet.com/khampton21/c4gu91vmzczl/wish/268338658 2018-06-24 13:25:01 UTC https://padlet.com/khampton21/c4gu91vmzczl/wish/268338658 khampton21 https://padlet.com/khampton21/c4gu91vmzczl/wish/268338761 Change can be hard for many individuals, this plan can help.]]> 2018-06-24 13:26:56 UTC https://padlet.com/khampton21/c4gu91vmzczl/wish/268338761 khampton21 https://padlet.com/khampton21/c4gu91vmzczl/wish/268339175 2018-06-24 13:36:17 UTC https://padlet.com/khampton21/c4gu91vmzczl/wish/268339175 khampton21 https://padlet.com/khampton21/c4gu91vmzczl/wish/268339193 Communication is key!!]]> 2018-06-24 13:36:27 UTC https://padlet.com/khampton21/c4gu91vmzczl/wish/268339193 nflores16 https://padlet.com/khampton21/c4gu91vmzczl/wish/268791661 Kathy, Great article! I found it not only insightful but also it hit close to home for me as well. I currently work at a school that is about 50/50 Hispanics and African-Americans, but our teacher population does not mirror that. We currently have 4 Hispanic teachers and 4 African- American teachers, and the rest of our school is made up of Caucasian teachers. I do feel it is important for students to see themselves in their teachers, to know that they are alike in some way. It gives students a sense of belonging and a want to be present with others that are like them. I do think that it is difficult for administrators to take into account race and cultural background when hiring staff because of time. If an administrator only has a week to hire a person for the position, and they meet all of the qualifications except they are Caucasian, it would be hard for an administrator to pass up the opportunity to fill the position. I think there is a lot of red tape as far as discrimination and how things might look to others on the outside of education that make the powers that be hesitate when it comes to having staff mirror the student population. It is definitely something to seriously think about for our future. ]]> 2018-06-27 23:34:36 UTC https://padlet.com/khampton21/c4gu91vmzczl/wish/268791661 khampton21 https://padlet.com/khampton21/c4gu91vmzczl/wish/269094721 2018-07-01 22:03:58 UTC https://padlet.com/khampton21/c4gu91vmzczl/wish/269094721 khampton21 https://padlet.com/khampton21/c4gu91vmzczl/wish/269094792 2018-07-01 22:05:14 UTC https://padlet.com/khampton21/c4gu91vmzczl/wish/269094792 khampton21 https://padlet.com/khampton21/c4gu91vmzczl/wish/269095530 Move on....]]> 2018-07-01 22:16:38 UTC https://padlet.com/khampton21/c4gu91vmzczl/wish/269095530 khampton21 https://padlet.com/khampton21/c4gu91vmzczl/wish/269095710 2018-07-01 22:20:36 UTC https://padlet.com/khampton21/c4gu91vmzczl/wish/269095710 https://padlet.com/khampton21/c4gu91vmzczl/wish/269663670 Sometimes we can get so caught up in the latest strategy, app, or program, we can forget about the basics like keeping ourselves organized.  Thank you for posting this.
