What if... designing recruitment?

A graphical "statement" of leadership philosophy, by Sophie Michaud


What if the future of learning were reflected in how schools hire?

What if recruitment strategies were as human-centered as the design process? What if we requested application materials that reflect the singularity and the diversity of the people we are trying to understand and to recruit to move our schools forward?

For example, what if we asked people to share a picture instead of a thousand words?

--Sophie Michaud, Assistant Head for Academics, Buffalo Seminary (NY)

Each Wednesday we share a "what if" scenario. These are not suggestions as much as provocations.

If you have a "what if" scenario you would like to share, just send an email (and indicate whether you would like it attributed it to you).
