HOW TO HIRE THE BEST SCHOOL LEADERS USING MARTIN HABERMAN’S PROTOCOLS FOR SELECTING “STAR” TEACHERS AND PRINCIPALS
ABSTRACT: Imagine a proven method for selecting highly effective school leaders. Martin Haberman did, and then he brought his vision to life. Haberman believed that hiring the best teachers and administrators for students in poverty must be America’s highest priority. The authors (1) highlight the academic challenges for urban learners in poverty who are placed at-risk, (2) discuss Ruby Payne’s (2013) and Martin Haberman’s (1999, 2010) competing frameworks for understanding poverty in educational settings, (3) outline Haberman’s two-step protocols for identifying and selecting ‘star’ school leaders, and (4) salute Haberman’s outreach legacy of sharing proven selection practices with school districts across America.
