Strategic Staffing and Incentives

Sun, April 14, 1:15 to 2:45pm, Pennsylvania Convention Center, Floor: Level 100, Room 110A

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

Many administrators, researchers, and policymakers worry about the ability of schools, and particularly schools serving educationally marginalized students, to effectively recruit and retain teachers. Doing so may depend on whether state, district, and school staffing policies are strategic, though available evidence suggests that existing policies and practices are not well-targeted to solve specific challenges of staffing specific schools or positions. This session brings together five papers presenting novel evidence about the use or effectiveness of a range of strategic staffing policies and practices across a range of contexts. Collectively they contribute to our theoretical understanding of strategic human resource management in schools while also providing guidance for policymakers and school leaders looking to staff schools efficiently and effectively.
