Staffing

=Staffing= Staff does not need to have high level of technology knowledge. Staff **must** be willing to learn. Things to look for:
 * risk takers
 * high work ethic
 * don't want to hear, "Too hard, too tired, too much work."
 * willing to collaborate with adults and students
 * helps others
 * looks to assist colleagues
 * shares ideas
 * gives away everything
 * willing to work to improve school, not just classroom
 * don't want to hear, "but"
 * want to hear, "How?"
 * willing to learn from students
 * network
 * is there one?
 * who's included?
 * how is it used?
 * contributions to/learning from
 * experience
 * past projects
 * past curriculum writing
 * learning style
 * self taught?
 * taught by others always?
 * willing to ask for help?
 * willing to assist others?

=**Organizational Structure**= Traditional or non-traditional? Union Free???

Possibly a teacher-led school where whole staff shares administrative duties/responsibilities, or perhaps a selection of the staff function as teacher-leaders who share admin duties/responsibilities.
