As the New Year’s routines settle in, school leaders are entering the "long stretch" of January. This is the bridge period where next school year stops being a distant thought and starts becoming a series of real conversations. In this episode, we dive into the hiring season—not as a set of HR tasks, but as a deeply human process of transition and growth.This episode is for school administrators and leaders navigating the tension of spring planning. We address how to prepare your building’s culture for new faces, the vulnerability of updating a resume mid-career, and how to support colleagues who are looking toward a different horizon. Listen in to learn why the best recruitment tool you have is the staff already in your hallways and how to navigate the emotional ecosystems of school transitions.Take a breath and join us as we explore the architecture of community.
