Abstract
This study asks if there is a correlation between the work-related characteristics and skills measured in applicants by the AppliTrack pre-screening instrument and teacher hiring and retention. It contends that there are identifiable work-related characteristics and skills that do equate to being hired as a teacher. It further finds that there are identifiable work-related characteristics and skills that correlate with a teacher’s retention. It considers pre-screening data from the Shawnee Mission School District and whether teachers hired after completing the pre-screener are still employed with the district. It also considers whether teachers who did leave the district did so voluntarily or involuntarily. This study seeks to address gaps in existing research by identifying a correlation between work-related characteristics and skills measured by a pre-screening instrument and teacher hiring and retention.
