Abstract

The teaching profession has not established what qualities should be sought or measured in a teacher application to distinguish one applicant from another. Nor has it implemented a valid, reliable selection system (Smith, 1980). During the past 15 years public schools have moved from a position of recruitment of enough teachers to fill the classrooms, to one in which limited vacancies provide an opportunity to use quality procedures. Teacher vacancies which occur in every educational organization due to turnovers, promotion, and the creation of new positions, present important organizational decision situations. Teacher selection is one of the most important administrative tasks that face the educational administrator.
