Human Resources Administration

This text examines how human resources work is carried out in schools today, grounded in research, and identifies the skills future HR professionals will need. Its central argument is that staffing decisions in education belong to two groups at once: district-level human resources administrators and the principals who lead individual schools. Chapters focus on hiring and selection, professional development for staff, performance evaluation, the working climate of a school, and the legal obligations that shape each of these areas. Written for people who recruit educators and for school administrators who manage staff, it connects district policy with the day-to-day realities of running a school.
