Strategic Management of Human Capital in Education offers a
comprehensive and strategic approach to address what has become labeled
as "talent and human capital." Grounded in extensive research and
examples of leading edge districts, this book shows how the entire human
resource system in schools—from recruitment, to selection/placement,
induction, professional development, performance management and
evaluation, compensation, and career progression—can be reformed and
restructured to boost teacher and principal effectiveness in ways that
dramatically improve instructional practice and student learning. Strategic Management of Human Capital in Education
guides educators towards putting more effective teachers, teacher
leaders, and principals in the country’s schools—especially in
poverty-impacted urban and rural communities—equipping those teacher and
principals with instructional and leadership expertise, and rewarding
and retaining those who are successful in attaining these objectives.
Drawing from cases, experiences, and deliberations from a national task
force, this book outlines a comprehensive framework for how to transform
current human resource management practices into authentic, strategic
talent management systems in order to improve student achievement.
