Like Me? The Employment Styles of School Principals Hiring Beginning Teachers

Abstract

Schools in New Zealand are self-managing and hire their own personnel, including beginning teachers who bring with them a supervisory allowance for one year. School principals interview and hire teachers, sometimes with a sub-committee of the school board of trustees but often without. This research examines the supposition that principals have differing styles that influence their selection of beginning teachers. There may well be implications for pre-service programmes.
