School administrators have some tough hiring decisions to make, and an interview to select the most highly qualified applicants is critically important. Even before the mandates of No Child Left Behind, school administrators strove to hire the best new teachers. Competent, caring, qualified teachers are the keys to enhanced student achievement. Employers have generally developed their own interview styles and questions, sometimes relying on how they were interviewed, or perhaps on a standard set of published questions. Behavior-based interviewing (BBI) has the potential to improve the teacher hiring process, as questions in this style of interview focus on candidates' past behaviors as the predictor of their future performance. Behavior-based interviewing depends on creating specific questions to ascertain the past experiences, skills, and behaviors of the candidate. The author offers tips on how to create the right and more specific questions, along with some examples. The author also offers guides to help employers evaluate answers and discusses the potential of BBI.
