screening interviews for teachers?
I am going to a job fair at the end of the month. Does anyone have a list or remember questions that are asked in a screening interview? It has been several years since I have had to go on one. Thanks for any help!
Re: screening interviews for teachers?
I am going to be going to a teacher job fair at the beginning of March, so I am also trying to think about questions I might be asked. The last time I went to one of these was in March of 2008. Now that I am moving back to my home state, I get to go through this whole process again.
I remember being asked lots of the basic questions like "why did you want to be a teacher?" and "what to you hope to achieve within the next 10 years?" I think there were some basic questions about my teaching styles and discipline styles, how I incorporate reading into other subjects, and so on.
One question that I was not asked myself but several of my peers talked about was this unusual one: "For what education-related achievement will you become famous within the next five years?" or something like that (I can't remember the exact wording). I was so glad at the time that I was not asked one, because I know it would have caught me off guard.
One thing that I do remember caught me off guard was being asked questions about specific textbooks and programs. It felt like one interviewer completely wrote me off when I did not have experience with the program they were currently using in her district to teach middle school math. For the schools or districts that you are particularly interested in, I would ask around or look online and try to find what programs and books they use so that you can go in prepared with at least a little background info.
