The TDP Toolkit

Teaching effectiveness is the single most important in-school factor in improving a student’s academic performance. Thus, decisions about how to attract, retain, develop, and organize excellent teachers are the most important decisions that school system leaders make. Our Talent Decision Planner (TDP) is a new tool that helps central office HR teams empower principals to make key talent management decisions with purpose and clarity, informed by data and experience.

The Talent Decision Planner simplifies your talent management systems, but we know that on first glance it can look complex. We are happy to offer advice and suggestions as to how to fit this tool into your current priorities. Email Karen Silverman at ERS for more information.
