Power Up: Recruiting and Selecting Residents with an Equity Lens (2022-23)
During the Recruiting and Selecting Residents with an Equity Lens segment of Power Up 1, Dr. Jacquelyn Ollison emphasizes the importance of designing teacher residency recruitment and selection processes through a clear equity lens so candidates can demonstrate their strengths beyond traditional screening methods. Presenters highlight the use of data collection and analysis to identify patterns, barriers, and inequities in who is recruited, interviewed, and selected—particularly for candidates of color. The session concludes by encouraging programs to use data-driven insights to remove systemic barriers, hold partnerships accountable, and implement concrete next steps toward more equitable recruitment practices.
