If you've taken education classes and done your student teaching you shouldn't be concerned about your interview.

Is the job actually for a teaching position or for an aide's position?

Answer 4

Here are some scenario questions from a recent set of interviews that I was involved in.

A parent tells you that their child demonstrates more and higher skills at home then you report to have seen at school, how do you handle this situation?

A parent tells you that they know another student is recieving services at home provided by the school district and they want they same services, what is your response?

How do you train, communicate and manage instructional assistants?

What is your classroom management style/ system?

You ask Jonny to get his math book and come work with you and Jonny says "no", what do you do?

You are teaching a math concept in your student, says this is stupid. I will never have to use this in the real world. How do you respond?

How do you want your students to view you?

Is it important to motivate students to participate in class?

If yes how do you take into account student interests and motivation?

All I can remember right now

Good Luck.
