In an effort to improve the identification, assessment, and hiring of qualified teaching candidates, the Los Angeles Unified School District adopted a new “Multiple Measures Teacher Selection Process” in the 2014-15 school year.

According to a new study led by USC PhD candidate Paul Bruno, the system has notably impacted outcomes such as teacher attendance, classroom evaluations, and student performance.

Bruno joins CPRE Knowledge Hub managing editor Keith Heumiller to discuss his findings and some important takeaways for districts, school leaders, and practitioners across the country.
