About IT

Independent Thinking,

a firm comprised of former independent school administrators and teachers, has been successfully partnering with schools since 2000 in the areas of administrator searches and program assessment.

Ten years ago,  IT was created to better meet the needs of schools and individuals searching for administrator positions, and now IT has expanded to better meet the needs of schools for all of their hiring needs.

What A Great Job

Friday, February 05 2010

On a recent school visit to Newark Academy , I was lucky enough to go to morning meeting. It began with the usual—adult announcements, kid announcements, and reminders about deadlines, games, club meetings, etc. Certainly information that might have been managed through email or news events postings—even scrolling on one of those cool electronic boards some schools have hanging in their foyers or dining halls. But the rituals were comfortable—even for me, a stranger to this community but not to similar communities. How great it is for adolescents to have the opportunity to stand up in front of a crowd and speak, even if to just announce the basketball score or the chess club meeting: never easy to do, but easier when it is your community.

How do we do IT?

For ten years the founding partners of Independent Thinking have asked themselves, each other and many school people that question. How do we do IT? How do we offer independent schools a teacher recruitment service that gives schools what they really need-something different from what is already out there?
