Przedmiotem artykułu jest związek pomiędzy podejściem uwzględniającym aspekt jakości życia a praktyką rekrutacyjną stosowaną przez dyrektorów szkół specjalnych Beit Ekstein. W artykule przede wszystkim zbadano trzy główne obszary: przyjęty w Beit Ekstein model jakości życia a koncepcja jakości życia; rolę dyrektorów szkół ogólnie i w Beit Ekstein; nauczycieli jako przedsiębiorców społecznych. Celem jest wskazanie konkretnych cech poszukiwanych przez dyrektorów szkół podczas rekrutacji, czego dokonano za pomocą analizy treści danych z wywiadów przeprowadzonych z dyrektorami szkół Beit Ekstein. Wyniki wskazują, że dyrektorzy tych szkół w sposób szczególny postrzegają swoje zespoły i zatrudniają osoby o cechach przedsiębiorców społecznych, gdyż cechy takich pracowników mają istotne znaczenie w rozwoju uczniów o specjalnych potrzebach. Ponadto wyniki pozwalają zrozumieć sposób postrzegania modelu jakości życia przez dyrektorów szkół.
The following paper examines the relationship between the Quality of Life approach and the recruiting practice of Beit Ekstein special education school managers. First, the paper explores three main fields: the Beit Ekstein Quality of Life model relative to quality of life concept; the role of school managers in general and specifically at Beit Ekstein; teachers as social entrepreneurs. Through a content analysis of data gathered in interviews with Beit Ekstein school managers, the article aims to identify the special characteristics that the school managers are looking for in their recruiting practice. Findings show that Beit Ekstein school managers have a specific perception of their teams and seek to hire people with the characteristics of social entrepreneurs, since the qualities held by such recruits will play a significant role in the development of their special needs pupils. Moreover, findings bring an understanding of the school manager’s perception of the Quality of Life model.
