Practice Interview Questions

One of the lovely teachers at my practicum school Koonung Secondary college gave me this list of practice interview questions, to use when preparing for those scary interviews that are looming in my future. Looking at them made me realise how much I need to refine before I start applying! Hopefully, you feel more prepared than me! 

SAMPLE MOCK INTERVIEW QUESTIONS

Why did you decide to become a teacher and why will you be good at it?

Describe your teaching style and how you cater for the diverse needs of all students.

What communication and teamwork skills and experiences would you bring to effectively contribute to our school community?

Explain your understanding of VELS both as a curriculum planning tool and as an assessment device?

If I were to walk into your classroom, what would I see and hear that would demonstrate to me the inclusive nature of your teaching?

What do you consider to be the essential elements of an effective classroom management plan, particularly when you are working with a new group?

What role would ICT play in your classroom?

What contributions are you both able and willing to make to the range of school activities?

In the coming weeks, I will start posting some sample responses!

Happy Teaching!
