Human Capital Development / Personnel

4. HCD vs. Personnel
Personnel must maintain records, mediate disputes, negotiate contracts, etc., leaving little time to focus on developing our most important resource
School Systems are essentially Human Enterprises
83% of our financial resources are devoted to people
We employ about 1,000 people (Certified & Non Certified)
Too often the “people side” of education is overlooked
Instructional staff and administrators need new tools and resources to meet the individual needs of every student
