Staffing with Purpose: Montessori Hiring Beyond the Resume

About This Intensive

A vacancy opens and recruitment starts from scratch: a rushed job posting, a handful of resumes, and a decision shaped by who is available. The next vacancy brings the same scramble. These five hours are for building the system before you need it. You write a hiring narrative that explains why someone would choose your school, shape job descriptions around your values, and build a recruitment calendar for the whole year. You leave with those three pieces written, so the next resignation does not also become the starting point for your recruitment work.

Why Now

October gives you time to prepare for the Montessori hiring season from January through April. With your school’s hiring story, job descriptions, and calendar already written, you have a basis for beginning conversations with prospective candidates before vacancies become urgent.

Who It’s For

For heads of school and directors who shape roles and lead recruitment. It is not focused on reviewing applications for a current vacancy.
