We Are Hiring a Learning Architect- Pooja Chauhan

This session shifted my thinking from “Who is qualified?” to “Who is truly teachable and child-ready?” I realised that while degrees open the door, dispositions sustain the classroom. When a school hires a teacher, it is actually hiring the emotional climate of future classrooms. Therefore, along with content knowledge, we must look for curiosity in the teacher’s eyes, warmth in their language, and flexibility in their approach. 

I believe a strong hiring process should intentionally create moments where the candidate has to think aloud, respond to an unexpected classroom situation, and demonstrate how they would include a hesitant learner. 

The real question is not, Can this person teach the lesson? But can this person notice the child who is not learning? Going forward, I will sharpen my own reflective practice and advocate for interview processes that reveal mindset, not just merit. This learning has made me more conscious that every teacher we select silently shapes hundreds of learning journeys.
