Abstract: 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.
