Podcast:The Principal Exchange Podcast Published On: Sun Apr 26 2026 Description: When hiring season arrives, many schools focus on filling vacancies as quickly as possible. Resumes, years of experience, and certifications often become the main deciding factors. In this episode, we explore a different way to think about hiring — not as filling a slot, but as strengthening the ecosystem of your school. From identifying what a grade level team is missing to balancing attitude and aptitude, this conversation reframes hiring as one of the most important culture decisions a principal makes. Because you aren’t just hiring for a classroom — you’re hiring for the future of your school. If you’re interviewing candidates or building teams for next year, this episode will help you think beyond the resume and make stronger long-term hiring decisions.
