Any Elementary School Teachers out there?
I am interviewing for a 4th grade position tomorrow and I since I have taught mostly sp.ed I am somewhat unfamilair with elementary type of questions. Any would be appreciated! TIA!
Re: Any Elementary School Teachers out there?
I am an elementary school counselor. I teach social skills.
I was asked for my interview questions that I would assume are similar to a teacher:
1. What type of students do you prefer to work with?
2. How would you communicate with other teachers/staff/parents.
3. What was your last CPS call and how did you handle it?
4. Are you familiar with _____________________
5. Describe your experiences in a school
The rest were pretty counseling specific.
I googled a list of possible questions. HERE they are.
Good Luck!
Check out the school/district's website. See what you can find out about their curriculum, school dicipline policy, etc. We ask about differentiated instruction, experience with ESOl students (my school has a very high population), how comfortable you are with data, what you do when a lesson isn't going well, what you do when you have a student who already knows the material/doesn't get it even after re-teaching, etc.
FWIW, I've never ever been asked when my last CPS call was nor what type of students I prefer to work with--you don't really get a choice.
I teach 1st grade.
I think it is really important to be able to answer
-What is your philosophy on education?
-How do you create a positive, safe classroom environment?
-How do you build and maintain relationships with families?
-What is your classroom management style?
-How do you teach reading, math, writing, etc? (i.e. do you do Balanced Literacy, Guided Reading, etc.)
-Tell a situation that you worked with another difficult adult (colleague or a parent.) What was the situation, how did you handle it, and what would you do differently in the future?
-What is your biggest strength?
-What is an area you are working to grow in (instructionally)?
