One company claims that it can accurately predict how effective a teacher will be before they are hired.
Launched four years ago, TeacherMatch believes its Educators Professional Inventory, a tool used to screen prospective hires, can accurately tell if a teacher will be able to increase student test scores.
PeopleAdmin, the company responsible for human-resource software that it claims is used by school districts to hire one out of every three teachers in the country, said that it purchased TeacherMatch. The company plans to provide its clients with access to the screening tool.
