Hiring is one of the highest-stakes decisions a technology leader makes, and in K-12, you rarely have enough time, budget, or support to get it right. But hiring well is a skill, and like most skills, it develops through failure as much as success. This session is an honest look at what it actually took to build a hiring process I could trust: what broke, what changed, and what bad hires revealed about gaps I didn't know I had. We'll dig into the interview team, the questions, the rubric, and the parts that don't show up in best-practices articles. Attendees will leave with a template interview guide and scoring rubric they can adapt for their own roles.
