Hire For Character: Three Things To Look For

Hiring a teacher with good character is essential because educators do more than just deliver lessons, they shape young minds and influence the culture of the entire school. A teacher’s character impacts how they build relationships, manage their classroom, and serve as a role model for students. When schools hire teachers with integrity, empathy, and a strong sense of responsibility, they are investing in a positive learning environment where students feel safe, supported, and inspired to grow.



Here are three things to look for when for hiring based on good character.  Look for a teacher who...

  1. Builds Trust with Students and Families: Teachers with strong character:  honesty, kindness, and responsibility, create safe and respectful classrooms where students feel valued and families feel confident in the care their children receive.

  2. Contributes to a Positive School Culture: Teachers who demonstrate empathy, patience, and professionalism help foster a collaborative and supportive school environment among staff and students.

  3. Models Integrity and Leadership: A teacher’s character directly influences their students. Hiring educators with strong character ensures they consistently model respectful behavior, sound decision-making, and ethical standards, shaping students in and beyond the classroom.
