ABSTRACT
This chapter describes how schools and districts can organize to implement a strategic approach to human capital management. Section 1 discusses how principals implement the core school-level human capital management activities of acquiring, developing, motivating, and retaining effective teachers. Section 2 describes various central offices’ functions in talent management: (1) how to partner with principals to support their execution of district strategies for managing teacher talent at the school level; (2) developing HR analytics, including HR alignment analyses and strategic HR metrics; and (3) how to organize to insure talent management receives proper attention across the district and in all central office divisions, departments, and offices.
