Improving Instructor Hiring and Development at the Emergency Management Institute

Résumé du livre

As part of its redesign, the Emergency Management Institute (EMI) is rethinking how it secures qualified, effective instructors. For support in this redesign, EMI asked a Homeland Security Operational Analysis Center team to help improve its instructor hiring and development practices. The goal of the research was to examine EMI's current process, pinpoint strengths and challenges, and identify best practices in managing its instructor cadre across the spectrum of activities, from recruitment and hiring to evaluation and development. The team interviewed EMI staff, consulted the research literature, and identified best practices from other institutions to develop recommendations to improve every phase of the process.
