Teacher Recruitment Toolkit

Many districts are concerned about teacher recruitment due to massive teacher shortages across the country. Discover a wide variety of ideas and accompanying tools to help districts inflect change at every stage of the teacher hiring process.

Recently, 94% of our District Leadership Forum members told us that they are concerned about teacher recruitment, due to massive teacher shortages across the country.

To address these concerns, we spoke with more than 30 districts and conducted secondary research to discover ways to improve the four aspects of teacher hiring: recruitment, the application process, selection, and sealing the deal.

This toolkit is the product of those conversations and research. Inside are 21 guides, audits, diagnostics, and other tools districts can use to immediately address teacher vacancies.

Before you begin, take our teacher recruitment and hiring audit to assess where you stand.

This diagnostic is designed to inform your district's teacher recruitment and hiring strategy by:

Assessing where your district stands in its current approach to teacher recruitment and hiringIdentifying the strategies and tools of most use to your district as you focus your efforts

Complete this 14-question audit by reflecting upon your own district’s capabilities for each criterion and selecting "yes" or "no" to each question. There are four short parts to the diagnostic, and based on your responses to each part, you will be provided guidance as to where to begin focusing your efforts in each section of the toolkit. Continue to take the full survey, if you wish, by selecting "Next" to go to the next question.

Now that you have completed the diagnostic, make sure to review each of the guides and resources in the full toolkit.
