Top 10 Teacher Interview Questions

I am right in the middle of interviewing for a full-time teaching position, so I've recorded a few of the questions that I have been getting asked over and over again. This is a great place to start when interviewing for a teaching position. But as I always say, it's best to just be yourself! If they like you for who you are, they will hire you!

1. Briefly share your background experiences and education as they relate to this position.
2. What are your greatest strengths and weaknesses as an educator?
3. If I walked into your classroom on a typical day, what would I see?
4. How can students of different ability levels benefit from your instructional practices?
5. What are your best strategies for making the best use of the time you have in class with your students?
6. What is your discipline (classroom management) style?
7. How have you/how do you plan to communicate with the parents/guardians of your students?
8. What responsibilities will your students have for their learning? What responsibility do you have?
9. How would your previous supervisor describe you?
10. What is your greatest concern when in the classroom?

If you're a teacher, what questions have you been asked in an interview?
