Teacher Interview Questions
Copyright © Adam Waxler
Want to know how to answer the 25 most common teacher interview questions?
If you're serious about getting a teaching job and want an unfair
advantage over the competition, then read this outline to "Acing ANY
Teacher Interview."
The following is a list of possible teacher interview questions.
They have been compiled from various teacher resources when researching
the most effective teacher interviews. I have broken up these teacher
interview questions into several different categories to make it easier for you to prepare for your next teacher interview.
Pertaining to Your Background:
Don't forget...the interviewers obviously want to hire the best
teacher, but they also want to hire a teacher that they will be able to
work with for a long time to come. These background interview
Background Information Most teacher interviews begin with a handful of
questionsquestions are important as they let your potential employer
know who you are as a person ... so don't hold back.
1. What are your hobbies and interests?
2. What is a recent book you have read?
3. Why did you choose to become a teacher?
4. Tell me about the three people who have most influenced your own education and educational career.
5. What contributions can you make to our school outside of teaching in the classroom?
Teacher Relationships With Students:
When answering this teacher interview question, remember to stress the
importance of the student-teacher relationship. This interpersonal
relationship is one of the most important factors in having and
maintaining an effective classroom. It is also one of the most
underestimated factors in being an effective teacher.
1. What kind of students do you like to work with?
2. What do you do when you must teach students that are reluctant learners?
3. What do you do when a student ridicules an assignment, saying it doesn't make sense?
4. How do you help students experience success?
5. What are some of the ways you get to know your students personally?
6. How would you challenge the slow learner and the advanced learner within the same class?
7. Are you friends with your students?
8. How would your students describe you?
Teacher Relationships With Colleagues:
Again, during a teacher interview, your potential employer is not just
looking for the best teacher, but he is also looking for the best
colleague...someone he can trust and work with for a long time.
1. What kind of teachers would you prefer to work with? Why?
2. Do you prefer working alone or as a team?
3. What extra curricular activities would you like to get involved with at our school?
4. What qualities do you have that would enhance our teaching staff?
5. What are some personality characteristics you find desirable or undesirable in people that you work with?
6. What needs and/or expectations do you have of other teachers and the school administration?
Teacher Relationships With Parents:
During any teacher interview you will have to express the importance of
not only the teacher-parent relationship, but also specific strategies
you plan to use to increase and improve that teacher-parent
relationship.
1. Why is the parent-teacher relationship so important?
2. What are some effective ways to communicate with parents?
3. How would go about increasing parent involvement?
4. What do you do about parents who do not speak the same language as you?
5. Describe the reasons why you would contact parents.
6. What would you include in your Open House presentation to parents?
7. What community activities would you like to be associated with? Why?
Teaching Strategies:
When push comes to shove this is the most important category of any
teacher interview. You absolutely must convey to the interviewers that
you are well versed in the most effective teaching
strategies...Anything else is simply unacceptable.
1. How would you integrate technology into the curriculum you would teach?
2. Describe some innovative projects or hands-on activities you have been involved with.
3. Give an example of how you have used cooperative learning in your classroom.
4. What teaching strategies do you use to motivate students to learn?
5. How do you integrate curriculum across subject/content areas?
6. How do you handle classroom management issues?
7. What are your classroom rules and classroom procedures?
8. What teaching strategies do you use to address the different learning styles of the students in your classes?

Job Interview Help Site!

Here
you will find some of the best tips and tricks
that you need to help you ace the interview and land the job.
We
all know that the economy is brutal - but the key to keep in mind is
that
because of the jump in unemployment, the job market is getting more
fierce by
the day!
Over
the years I've helped
people prepare for their interview I've read quite a few interview
preparation
guides! Of the 30 or so that I've read and reviewed, I
haven't found any that
even gets close to the quality of a guide written by a man named Trevor
Kemball
titled "Interview
Manuscript."
It is a much more in-depth review and preparation for the interview
process
than I could ever give and we highly recommend it no matter what your
skill
level or current knowledge is on the subject. In it, Trevor makes it
easy for
people like you and me to tell the interviewer team exactly
what they want to
hear and thereby keep
yourself on the top of their "call back"
list.
