The Office of Talent Management will ensure that each school is led by an effective leader and that each leader has the support to develop and retain highly qualified teachers from recruitment to induction and ultimately through their career path development. We will employ effective, efficient, and collaborative processes and systems for staffing of qualified educational personnel; collection and communication of employee performance data; guidance and support with performance management; and recruitment, induction, and retention of new talent.
Hartford Public Schools has embarked on an innovative urban school reform initiative – creating a portfolio of distinctive schools of choice to close the achievement gaps and ready students for college and the global workforce. Our students and families choose the school that meets their individual interest and meets their educational goals. We have created an all-choice system of high performing schools including smaller, career-oriented academies in our high schools.
As part of this effort to close achievement gaps and provide students with access to participation in a global economy, the district converted the Human Resources Department into the Office of Talent Management. The key approach of the Office of Talent Management is to partner with each school’s Human Capital Manager – the Principal - to improve student learning by attracting, developing, and retaining high quality talent.
