Strategic Human Resources Management in Schools presents a novel approach to human resources management, rooted in cutting-edge practice, research, and theory. Traditional HR practices in education have often operated in isolation and reactively, lacking a strategic connection to organizational goals, educational mission, educator well-being, and student success. This book delves into an updated version of personnel administration that aligns strategic HR with these critical aspects. Coverage includes exemplar practices from progressive organizations and leading companies, discussions of challenging issues such as discrimination and implicit bias, and comprehensive support for teachers and support staff, including paraprofessionals, food service workers, and bus drivers.

The Talent-Centered Education Leadership (TCEL) model presented in this book explores how educational leaders can foster a nurturing and inclusive workplace for all educational staff, ultimately vital for improving student learning and strengthening recruitment and retention of a high-quality education workforce. Designed for aspiring leaders, this volume is grounded in the Professional Standards for Educational Leaders (PSEL) and National Educational Leadership Preparation (NELP) Building and District Level standards. It features rich pedagogical elements, including case studies, "warning boxes" to examine particularly thorny areas, discussion questions, and various learning activities.

By adopting a strategic HR approach, schools can create a more effective and responsive workforce that supports the overall mission and goals of the organization. This book provides valuable insights and practical strategies for educational leaders and practitioners seeking to enhance the well-being, productivity, and success of their staff and students.
