Every staff transition is an opportunity!

When we look at staffing, one thing is certain—change is a constant.  Staff will be promoted, move to new locations, or retire.  Every transition creates a burden for the organization AND it creates opportunity.  Staff transition is an opportunity to improve the Selection Driver and build implementation capacity within the organization.   Here is a set of resources to assist you in staff selection in your school, district, or state level department.

By now you most likely know what the pre-requisites are in terms of knowledge, skills, and abilities for new positions.  You may also have learned something about who “fits” well at your school, district, or state level department.  Still, building up your implementation capacity takes intentional and integrated planning.  This handout assists you in thinking through a mutual selection process and includes implementation-specific factors to look for during staff selection.
