ATTRACT HIGH-QUALITY, HIGHLY QUALIFIED TEACHERS to the school.
Describe strategies that will be used to attract high-quality, highly qualified teachers.

The district's Human Resources and Staff Development departments, as well as a district level Teacher Recruitment Committee work
collaboratively to retain and recruit highly qualified , certified- in- field, effective teachers. The district also has a website used to attract teachers to
Broward County based upon regional perks, "Teach Near the Beach" and opportunities to receive benefits beyond a paycheck. Seminole Middle
School’s collaboration with the district is evidenced by participation in Broward Teacher Recruitment Fairs. Vacancies are filled with candidates
interviewed at the recruitment fair and referred by the district's instructional staffing department. Retention of teachers is a top priority of our
school. Teachers are cultivated and nurtured at Seminole Middle School to grow professionally. We retain highly qualified, certified- in- field,
effective teachers in our school by utilizing the New Educator Support System (NESS Liaison), Professional Learning Communities (Reading
Coach), District Trainings (District Personnel), School- Based Professional Development (Leadership Team / Team Leaders), Teacher Recognition
and Incentives (Administration).
