Описание: Episode 10: When You Select Great Staff, Great Things Happen | The Principal’s Playbook

Hiring is one of the most important leadership decisions a principal will ever make. In Episode 10 of The Principal’s Playbook, Dr. Michael Bishop focuses on how selecting the right staff directly impacts school culture, instructional quality, and long-term success.

Building on the instructional and data conversations from Episodes 7, 8, and 9, this episode shifts the focus to team building—viewing hiring through a coaching lens. Dr. Bishop discusses how to approach postings, screening, and interviews with intention, why belief in the mission matters as much as skill, and how different roles require different interview questions and expectations. The episode also explores the importance of reference checks, onboarding, confidentiality, and protecting the culture you’re working to build.

Whether you’re opening a new school, filling vacancies, or reshaping your leadership team, this episode provides practical guidance on how to hire people who align with your vision and strengthen both instruction and climate.
