Filling positions and ariticle

I had really not given the idea of how much thought should go into filling a vacated or new position much thought prior to this class. I have seen vague job descriptions but had not really thought much about it I just knew that if I was looking for a job that the vague description is something I would be wary of and now thinking as an administrator I would want the description and responsibilities to be specific to help narrow the field and get the candidates I really want to apply for the job.
The article is very similar to what happened in our school. We have two teachers in the same curricular area who were very resistent to use technology. Two younger teachers were hired roughly four years apart who were comfortable with technology and the latest hire is gung ho about technology and is very willing to experiment to make his instruction better. Because of these hires at least one of the two veterans is now more willing to use technology and try some new things to improve his instruction. Both veterans are more open to the changes they need to make for Iowa Core Curriculum and differentiated instruction. It is very possible that hiring quality people and giving them support can help teachers around them improve what they do. The key words here however, are quality people and support.
