Interviews
I found our discussions about interviews intriguing! I find it interesting that each school interviews candidates differently example, in our district some schools used the traditional interview where we all sit in a circle and take turns asking questions. A few of our elementary buildings interviewed candidates and asked the top 4 to teach a lesson with students in front of the interview team. This worked well except for the leading candidate. She had a great lesson until the last 15 minutes where she completely lost control of the room. Another method that I do not believe has been tried is including critical incidence situations. I would like to do more research to see if one method or style produces better candidates!

I agree that the process definitely varies throughout the different districts. Sometimes the process will vary throughout the same district depending on the position. The goal of any district has to be to be to hire the most qualified, but it doesn't hurt to know someone there in most cases. For instance, my wife has had such good recommendations that she hadn't interviewed for her first two grade school positions. It was also important that the people interviewing knew her very well before hiring her.
