PEJE Head of School Search Conference

Today, some members of the Search Committee attended a conference call held by PEJE focusing on techniques for interviewing Head of School candidates. On the panel were two members of a Search Committee and a recently hired Head of School.

The discussion was interesting and useful. PEJE provided a whole list of potential questions for the Search Committee to use when it begins interviews of candidates. We also discussed some pitfalls to avoid.

We also heard how difficult finding the right candidate can be. But we are lucky to be in Los Angeles. It is much harder to find candidates when you are Kadimah School in Buffalo, New York, than when you are Kadima Hebrew Academy in West Hills, California.
