Throughout the month of May, Design39Campus (D39C) had the opportunity to host teacher candidates from around the country to experience a taste of what it is like to be an LED at Design39Campus. As part of our multi-faceted hiring process, potential teacher candidates participate in a design thinking group process to showcase their abilities to collaborate in a team environment.
In the past, our interview panel consisted of D39C team members. This year, we decided to try something new! In addition to staff, students were invited to the interviews as well.
“Design39Campus is a student powered school, and we are so thrilled to have students be a part of this work,” said Joe Erpelding, Principal of D39C. “When you think about it, kids are directly impacted by our staff everyday, and hearing their voices allows us to choose the best possible LEDs for our kids and families.”
The students on our panel were selected by their teachers and took time out their evening to spend with us. Our kids had many ideas to share with our team, and their feedback was critical in our decision making.
“We were so amazed by their insightful feedback,” said Judy Caraang, a 4/5 LED at Design39Campus. “Our kids really have a grasp of what it means to be a great team player. So glad they could join us!”
