Taking time for several levels of screening in your hiring process, including getting input from existing staff members, supports good hiring. While everyone has struggles, teachers who are disengaged, overly stressed, and unhappy at work on a regular basis will adversely impact the team and the children. Program leadership can model the desired outcomes, and support this most crucial aspect of group care – the quality of interactions between teachers and children – and make sure to address it when they see problems with teacher performance.
