What kind of questions will I be asked during an interview for a Kindergarten teacher position?

Question

I have an interview on Tuesday for a Kindergarten teaching position. What kinds of questions should I be expected to answer? I'm so nervous! I've been on other interviews before, but kindergarten is so different... I'm contemplating what kinds of questions they expect me to answer! Any help would be appreciated!

Answer 1

Here are some questions I got for you from a site with questions for interviewing for K12 positions.  Some of these questions are specifically for kindergarten:

How much of the kindergarten day should be academic and how much social?

What would you do if a parent came in extremely upset and said that his/her child had been treated unfairly during an incident at lunch that day?

How will you include parents in the educational process? What do you expect from a principal? "If someone came into your class room what would they see happening/how would it be arranged?" (two questions, really) Why did you chose teaching?

How do you feel about inclusion?

What techniques do you use for behavior management in your classroom?

What are some of your favorite children's books?

What is the role of literature in kindergarten?

Describe the language acquisition of a child. How are you going to serve the needs of your second language students? Describe the discipline/classroom management program you would establish.

What are your discipline techniques?

Are there learning centers in your classroom?

If so, what kind of learning centers do you have?

How do the learning centers work in your classroom (do they rely on computers, independent study, group study, etc.) ?

Why do you use learning centers?
